At the beginning of the month the U.S. FTC decided to hold a forum about spam and invite anyone and everyone who held an interest in either seeing it dead or proliferate even more than it has. I'm glad that there has been sufficient interest to try and think about this more on a federal level, what with those 80 or so predominantly U.S. spams I get greeted with daily in my hotmail account, it'd be nice to think it would lessen.


Anyway, on the subject of spam and the FTC, the thing that got me blowing my coffee through my nose is that the head of the FTC is a guy called Orson Swindle.


Say that really fast a couple of times.
