Damn my giant space failed. Anyways now I see how text-speak or 'IM' is a good way to de-spam. Clearly if spam is "is the practice of sending unwanted e-mail messages" then a written language that cuts out most vowels is an effective way to combat the dangers of spamming.

Instant Messaging spam, Known also as spim (a portmanteau of spam and IM, short for instant messaging), makes use of instant messaging systems. Although less ubiquitous than its e-mail counterpart, spim is reaching more users all the time. According to a report from Ferris Research, 500 million IM spam were sent in 2003, twice the level of 2002. As instant messaging tends is not blocked by firewalls it is an especially useful channel for spammers. One way to protect yourself against spammers is to only allow messages from people on your friends lists. Many email services now offer spam filtering (Junk Mail) and some instant messaging providers offer hint and tips on avoiding email spam and spim (BT Yahoo for example).....jaba, jaba, spam, spam, spam etc.

Pressure to make e-mail spam illegal has been successful in some jurisdictions, but less so in others. Spammers take advantage of this fact, and frequently outsource parts of their operations to countries where spamming will not get them into legal trouble. Increasingly, e-mail spam today is sent via "zombie networks", networks of virus- or worm-infected personal computers in homes and offices around the globe; many modern worms install a backdoor which allows the spammer access to the computer and use it for malicious purposes. This complicates attempts to control the spread of spam, as in many cases the spam doesn't even originate from the spammer. In November 2008 an ISP, McColo, which was providing service to botnet operators, was depeered and spam dropped 50%-75% Internet-wide. At the same time, it is becoming clear that malware authors, spammers, and phishers are learning from each other, and possibly forming various kinds of partnerships.

95% oh my that is high! Perhaps spam is not so good at all. Some people even say the energy required to spam is contributing to global warming (according to wikipedia and 1984 global warming = ungood). I'm sure your glad I'm here to warn you and our last.fm brethren about the extreme ramifications of spam.

E-mail spam, known as unsolicited bulk Email (UBE), junk mail, or unsolicited commercial email (UCE), is the practice of sending unwanted e-mail messages, frequently with commercial content, in large quantities to an indiscriminate set of recipients. Spam in e-mail started to become a problem when the Internet was opened up to the general public in the mid-1990s. It grew exponentially over the following years, and today comprises some 80 to 85% of all the email in the world, by conservative estimate;[3] some sources go as high as 95%.

Spamming remains economically viable because advertisers have no operating costs beyond the management of their mailing lists, and it is difficult to hold senders accountable for their mass mailings. Because the barrier to entry is so low, spammers are numerous, and the volume of unsolicited mail has become very high. The costs, such as lost productivity and fraud, are borne by the public and by Internet service providers, which have been forced to add extra capacity to cope with the deluge. Spamming is widely reviled, and has been the subject of legislation in many jurisdictions.[1] People who create electronic spam are called spammers.[2]

ahem.. Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, and file sharing network spam.

I could have sworn I'd replied already.. but doesn't look like I have - sorry bout that! Gee Perth sounds like a ton of fun.. i'm sure it's cooler than you think :P Actually wouldn't mind visiting there at some point. Brisbane is okay. I have a soft spot for the city, but I suppose it's not as great as other cities might be. Still, I think the music scene is pretty great. And it's home.. so yeah :) What are you up to at the moment?
