Actually, the implication is that a challenge/response system (preferrably using cryptographic keys to establish a web of trust) has a much better chance of succeeding than content analysis. Spammers will always be able to immitate useful content but faking trust metrics could be made very, very difficult. TMDA is a first, albeit crude, step in the right direction. Way off topic and a matter of religious taste though. Take it up with you in private email if you like. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
