They won't until their users do, and to be honest, the loud minority
notwithstanding, that's what they are -- a loud minority. And to some degree
the loud part does their cause a disservice, because they get written off by
many people because they tend to be so strident, while Joe User simply
doesn't care -- and nobody's done a good job trying to convince Joe User he
should.

Unfortunately, Barry, you're wrong. Don't believe me? Look at all of the
spam that's nothing more than an electronic version of the same old scams
that they've been trying to wipe out of the paper postal service for
generations....

Yes, yes, I've finally finished my home page. Lucky you.

I'm really easy to get along with once you
people learn to worship me.
