In a recent InfoWorld article "Kittens — the solution to spam?" Microsoft discusses the next idea to beat spammers.

I love the Hotmail ‘white list’ system that only allows people from my address book and others that I select to get through. Once a week or so I go through my junk mail folder, but maybe only 1 or 2 new connections come though that way.

Gandalfe,
Is that Thelonius, in the picture, with Suzy? He is a beauty! I am for any program that uses kitties to help mail service. =)
Here is a link to my friend’s site. Ashley’s Site He is one of my Aussie mates, and a nice guy, that spends a great deal of time making fun of both men and women.
It was such a blessing when I first came upon your site, and saw how you included your wife. From observing your great relationship with your lovely Suzy, and appreciating my own, with my dear husband, I think you are both very wise indeed, and don’t follow the general worldly trend, of men. My blog was supposed to be more of a humorous reminder to whomever it would fit.
