[brlug-general] Has spam killed the Internet?

[Dustin Puryear]

A philosophical question..

 

I recently sent someone I know an email about catching up and got busy
afterwards and so didn't respond very promptly, and then got the
following:

 

...

Automated form touch letters.  Nice, Dustin.

 

I'm spam listing your domain to this address.

 

You can contact me via another technology, if you actually want to
interact.

It took me a few days to get what he meant, and now that I do I wonder
if spam has really made Internet users this jaded? More broadly put, has
spam really killed email?
