My post was incomplete, though the analogy still stands. When I said spammers will go away, I should've said the 'email spammers' will go away. Just like parasites on a dead animal body, the spammers won't go away. They'll just find another live body and kill it. ad infinitum. It's not a technology issue. It's not a political issue. It's a biological issue. Parasites kill until there's nothing left to kill. I wonder if spammers and cheats think of themselves that way? Rhetorical question...not a troll. scott
