http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/09/technology/09CARD.html Note that someone on the third tier of the chain was getting a response rate of 1/10 of 1% (a number we've seen quoted elsewhere). That always sounds tiny, but a million is a very big number. They were pulling in $5-6000 per million messages. That kind of economic pressure is going to be very hard to fight. -- Kee Hinckley http://www.messagefire.com/ Anti-Spam Service for your POP Account http://commons.somewhere.com/buzz/ Writings on Technology and Society I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's. _______________________________________________ Asrg mailing list Asrg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/asrg
