Say yes to spam

That, it would appear, is precisely what some fifty volunteers around the world will be doing from April 1st. They have not gone totally mad, but rather are taking part in an experiment to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the first spam e-mail. According to McAfee, the volunteers will live an online life totally unprotected from the scourge of spam, and will blog about the experience. Oh, apparently they have to respond to all the spam they receive as they use the Internet as part of the study. If I did that I would need some kind of time machine to be able to keep up with the volume, to be honest.
