Gates on Spam

While cruising through the Snopes archives (I recommend taking a browse through there. There's some fascinating stuff.) I came across a link to an essay written by Bill Gates back in 1998 on the evils of Email spam. It's an interesting read. I especially like his idea about getting paid to read unsolicited Emails. That would cut down on the amount of spam we get quite a bit. Or at least put a little extra money in the pocket. I wonder when Microsoft is going to implement this?
