Anyone who believes that SPAM can be solved by technical means should try
googling one of the following:
sms spam
i-mode spam
IM spam
It should be clear that spam is really a social problem, not a technical
one and therefore the solutions will be found in the social, political and
legal

I disagree. While you're right that it is a social problem, it is also
a technical problem in that those of us charged with protecting our
networks and equipment need to be able to discuss methods of engineering
our networks to counteract SPAM while the social, political and legal

Anyone got any info ? I have been in a voice queue for 5 minutes and being
asked to leave a message or hold further. I guess something is broken.

Yep. Our net is now back. I will be interested in PSI's explanation of why a
power failure at Telehouse (London) killed their LHC site. If anything
interesting turns up, I will let NANOG know.

Make it more of a hassle for them. Ralsky apparently gets *bags* of
junkmail everyday because mad people signed him up for everything under the
sun. If everyone faxed a 600 page document of why spam is bad to any fax
numbers in the email, maybe some places would start to get the point.
