    Here is a URL for a brief education on the history of SPAM
    and how viruses are contributing to the problem.

    I'd urge everyone to try and educate a few of their friends,
    family, coworkers, etc. on this topic.

    Perhaps we should have a "monthly" -- take some people to
    lunch and educate them about SPAM day.

    According to a recent article in MIT's Tech Review over
    50% of the email traversing the net is currently SPAM.

    Interesting when you think about it -- bandwidth reduction
    caused by the distribution of SPAM may limit the bandwidth
    required for the development of an amoral AI -- but at the
    same time the tactics being used by the spammers seem to be
    accelerating the probable development of such amoral AI(s)...
