And chill about spam. I know you have been great at contributions to
anti-spam ( and we all remember your distinct hate of SPF :-) ).
But antispam is just "commodity" technology.
Probably ML will take over antispam in the future and people would just
subscribe to some good ML antispam service. Running your own antispam is
too much of an attention grabbing task, and no one wants to put in so
much time today
You must not have checked prices on antispam services lately or prices
on mailboxes. Just about everyone out there in the web hosting biz
provides 10-20 free emailboxes (they have to, otherwise small businesses
would switch to a competitor) and every antispam service out
there charges at least a buck a month per box. (they have to otherwise
they would go out of business)
In this environment people have no choice but to run their own antispam.
But you are right in that nobody (including the people running it) wants
to put in time to doing it. Do you -want- to clean your toilet? Do
you -have-the-money- to pay someone else to do it?
We are all always looking for better toilet-cleaning brushes. If Marc
has invented a better one, people will want it! But they won't go buy
a $200 toilet cleaning brush when they can go to the grocery store and
buy a plastic one for $5 that will last 20 years.
