Did they change their minds in the 5 minutes? I've see people hit "spam" for e-mail from immediate family members. Does this mean it's a dysfunctional family? The only correct part is "The recipient obviously didn't think". Period.
No, sorry, Valdis this is just wrongheaded. The problem here isn't stupid users, but stupid providers not giving users what they clearly want: an "i don't want this" button. Until providers start matching users expectations about what _they_ think the "junk" button means, "st00pid l00sers -- ha ha" proclamations will continue to show that providers aren't serving their customers well.
