Gosh, I love beating my head against the wall.</blockquote><div><br>Well, the feeling's mutual. It seems that there's a community of people on this list who believe that:<br><br>- No system is acceptable if it allows me to say what I consider spam.<br>
- No system is acceptable if it can be bypassed by completely compromising machines.<br>- Systems like SMS where people are billed 10 cents a message are economically impossible.<br>- No system is acceptable unless it will gain widespread adoption immediately.<br>
- No system is acceptable unless it is usable by everyone on the Internet.<br><br>...and so on. Offering nothing positive, these naysayers shoot down every proposal with the same tired objections that have been addressed over and over and over as unreasonable or out of touch with reality.<br>
