Don't fight spam, it creates jobs!?
Rex Dixon from Techincally Speaking blog is offering a different view on spam issues. He thinks spam is good - in a way.

"The main reason that I believe spam is good is the fact that it has created JOBS! Yes, if it wasn't for spam, there would be some software programmers writing code for something that didn't help people or worse - not even working as a programmer! Every single day there are currently employed programmers writing code on how to stop spam. In the same token there are hackers out there writing code to get past those spam fighting programs. All in all, people are coding around one issue and discovering more things that wouldn't be found if it wasn't for the need of spammers to guarantee a way for their spam to arrive at your inbox and not in your junk mail box."


So, instead of thinking how you could make your congressman consider proposing a life sentencelinks for spammers, fight with anti-spam tools, report spammers - live and let live, thinks Dixon.

Which brings me to one thought that is popping up in my mind: was spam invented to make the software market more intense? No, it cant be...
