    And we should blame ourselves for the compelling lack of action in creating a mail protocol that makes spamming an easily handled phenomenon by authenticating it's users.

    And we should blame ourselves again for not implementing said protocols (as I am sure a number of better approximations of the above exist)

    And we should balme ourselves once more for acting so slowly in handling the spam as we did in the past.

    But let's not blame someone else for the net's problems while distancing ourselves when we all sadly negligent.
