...i've determined that the spammers have no cause to worry that the IETF is
going to affect their businesses at all.  in fact they're probably laughing
their asses off watching all this idiocy.

apparently, one way to stop spam would be to require spammers to live by
the official ietf motto, "rough consensus and running code", or by the
unofficial ietf motto, "let ``the best'' be the enemy of ``good enough''."
