RE: [Asrg] US Spam patents: Partial list

I think that's a reach on this patent. This one talks about facilitating
transactions, maybe like a paypal system. It has virtually nothing to do
with spam.

I can see where you might stretch it to be c/r but I don't think it
would be particularly helpful to this list.

Maybe if you can point out which part of their claims or processes use
C/R then it might make sense. I did a quick scan and did not see
anything.
