E-mail is back

[cjsmith]

My personal e-mail has been turned back on, in the sense that if 1) you know the right address to reach me and 2) you aren't coming from a domain I've labeled awful and 3) you don't use any words I've labeled awful in the subject, you can reach me.

The minor upside to all this mess is that I now know how to say things like undeliverable, spam filter, failure, address book, and delivery status notification in several major languages.

Wow, that's simultaneously cool (that the good guys are putting effort into this) and very sad (the amount of human ingenuity that could be used in other ways if we didn't have to fight this).

I wouldn't cry if every spammer suddenly dropped over dead. Seriously. I would not be able to pull the trigger myself, but the amount of sheer WASTE these guys create -- they're a drag on human existence, and that's unconscionable. We need a bolt of lightning from the heavens, or something.

It's even more horrifying at packet level.
