[plug] OT: WAIA Fighting Spam ?

[Daniel]

For a brief moment I considered getting further behind with my studies and 
attending the recent WAIA meeting about policies against spam, and then I 
remembered my industry friend's perspective~
While technically easy to initiate a system that can be personalized by 
each user to effectively bounce spam or even to adopt spambouncer.org 
stratergy, it may initiate huge costs for the isp in bandwidth and even 
more in time with confused uneducated (litigious?) users who fear they have 
lost mail.
Best to make a good sounding policy and disapprove of spam strongly, and 
gather with other isps who are just as disapproving and hence equally as 
respectable.
Was it sort of a quango for perfecting frowning on spam or have is that an 
injustice - are they actually going to do something tangible?
Cheers,
Daniel.
