No more spam?:

I imagine Will wiil appreciate this article. The basic idea is to charge minimal postage for email, the fee for which will be collected by the owner of the inbox. I have no problem with this plan (indeed, with the amount of spam I get, it might even make me rich) but I wonder how effective it will be. It costs about 20c for a company to send me a piece of junk mail through the post, but I get about 4-5 pieces most days. Charging for email may cut down a bit on the number of Viagra/ breat enhancement ads I get, but I doubt it will eliminate all of the credit card with incredibly low APR offers that I get.
