putting my job where my mouth is (Lawrence Lessig) -- "Here goes: So (a) if a law like the one I propose is passed on a national level, and (b) it does not substantially reduce the level of spam, then (c) I will resign my job. I get to decide whether (a) is true; Declan can decide whether (b) is true. If (a) and (b) are both true, then I’ll do (c) at the end of the following academic year."

I don't understand the purpose of the corrected URL. Please explain!

The URL in your original posting goes to Lessig's blog homepage, not the blog entry you cited.

Hmmm. That's strange. It goes to the blog entry for me.

Posted by: John S. Rhodes on January 7, 2003 11:01 AM

Only for as long as the blog entry is still on the home page, and hasn't yet been archived.

I understand. I wasn't thinking about that. Thanks.

AS far as I can see Lessig proposes no remedy against off-shore spammers. Anyone got any ideas what to do about these?
