Did "Father of MIME" just resurface failed idea of micropayments to stop SPAM? Not exactly.

"And let me clarify as well: People who think we can do this today are
naive, if not crazy. My position is somewhat subtler than the article
conveys -- I believe that we will turn to economic solutions only when
we have gotten all we can out of every other approach to spam, which I
believe will happen because Moore's Law is on the spammer's side.
Based on no data whatsoever, my wild guess would be that this will be
in the 2025-30 time frame. So almost all implementation-related
arguments are irrelevant if they're based on today's capabilities. In
other words, it's a prediction so far in the future that it's
irrelevant for any practical purpose. I still believe it, though."
