[hashcash] some more principles of anti-spam (Re: Re: anti-spam collateral damage)

Brad Templeton has some writings about spam that I found well informed
and thought out.

"A statement of Principles regarding the regulation of E-mail."

Particularly I like things like:

- Laws are the last resort
- The ability to send anonymous mail should not be destroyed

these and other topics are expanded upon in that mini-essay.

And other spam related writings:
