Or Microsoft rattling their sabre about how they want everyone to make 
this change and that change, defined by Microsoft, to stop spam, all the 
while having recently become one of the biggest delivery pipelines for 
Nigeria fraud spam AND added anti-spam filters to all their abuse 
addresses so they bounce any complaints sent to them about this.

I realize it has been said before, but a nickel a message for every 
message put onto the backbone of the net would bring all this junk to a 
halt.  If it isn't worth a nickel then just don't send it in the first 
place.  And I think most people would think it would be worth that to make 
the junk stop.
