| In China, it would take about one and one-half years wages (for the

MSN Is Spamming The Blogosphere
,----[ Quote ]
| Mr. Youth LLC is a marketing firm and lists MSN as a customer. Their
| website is here: http://www.mryouth.com/ Their phone number is
| (212) 779-8700.
|
| I?ve talked to a couple of other bloggers who said they are receiving
| similar comments on their blogs. This pisses me off because MSN/Mr.
| Youth should 1) be more upfront about their true identity, and 2)
| provide a real e-mail address so that I can request they take my
| blog off their marketing campaign.

Is the current spam war a Microsoft creation?
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has a long history of going undercover to attack opponents by

| Well, let me introduce you to Microsoft's Sender ID system. It's a
| system that basically puts a flag on every legitimate mail server out
| there in an effort to curb spam by preventing unauthorized hosts or
| botnets from sending mail unless they have a valid Sender ID, which
| they wouldn't get. The problem with this is it puts tremendous power
| in the hands of Microsoft. With this they could control internet
| mail in a way that would cripple anyone who was an open critic of
| Microsoft while giving a blank check to anyone who was a friend of
| Microsoft and paid them significant enough monies.
