A Conference About Spam

zonker writes "January 17th will be the first (annual?) meeting of the Spam Conference held in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The informal meeting will feature Paul Graham, John Graham-Cumming, John "Cap'n Crunch" Draper among others (possibly including ESR though he hasn't yet confirmed). The free conference will consist of a number of talks about new ways to combat the growing spam problem, after which everyone's going out and getting some Chinese food. Should be an informative and fun meeting and a chance to meet some interesting people."

if the conference becomes a regular thing, it means that spam is still a big problem.

You sort of lost me there. Sounds like you are implying that spam will cease being a problem if we just stop the confrences.

No offence to you Pacifists out there, but the problem does not go away by ignoring it.
