During a late-night session of the World Economic Forum in 2004, Bill Gates said the Internet spam problem would be solved within two years.

…The statement did cause a great deal of excitement at the time, and Hamlin – perhaps not surprisingly – argues that Gates was correct. “I won’t say spam is dead, but we can say spam is contained,” Hamlin said. “If you use the latest anti-spam technologies and educate yourself on how to use them, you should not have a problem.”

Contained? Contained??? He hasn’t seen my spam box lately, that’s for sure… (mutter)

It’s mostly investment and stock spam this week. but the usual p@n!s spam is there as well. Scads and scads of it. (eyeroll)
