Undoubtedly it is *easier*, just as I can easily eliminate all my spam by

And that is the big % of what people do or want to do ! most people
wants to comunicate with who they want to talk to !
I think you are defining people in the wrong way. Do not assume by
default that people want spam !
If you described your idea to bunch of average internet users and
surveyed them about it, you'll find that a big % of them probably think
they do agree with you. When you go to implement it for real you'll
find that the percentage of users who actually stick with the idea in
the long run will get smaller and smaller. It's hard for an idea that
requires users to change their behavior to gain traction and keep it.
Please prove me wrong. I would be super happy if you're right because
it would make my job tremendously simpler.
I do like the idea, and I would try it for my own personal email because
it would be easy to do and there truly aren't many people I want to talk
to once I get home from the office and I think I'd be done whitelisting
people by the second day.
