Two great opposing forces are at work on the internet, total control and
verified identity, vs, anarchy and annonmenity (sorry spelling is not a
major force).

Unfortunately the same verified ID that would let me track down a spammer,
also would allow oppressive regimes to control internet content.

Struggle is good, spam isnt "that" bad.
