ready, fire, aim.
we aren't hitting the target. the gun must be broken.
couldn't be that we have lousy eyesight. or that the ground is shaking.
folks...
when we look at email as a complex human communication service, and we explain
spam as an intrusion into the model of using that service constructively, and
we can formulate reasonable models of "repair" that do not break the broad
utility of service, and we find that we cannot engineer changes to the
existing service to implement these human-level "repairs", THEN it will be
time to consider "re-engineering" email.
