Seriously... They was on about it years ago and I think it might be the only solution to the current SPAM problem.

It could be 0.001 cent per email or something. Just enough to make it extremely cheap for legitimate users and extremely expensive for spammers. The price would need capping at government level so it didn't increase above inflation ever.

An even better idea would be that 100% of the profits would be returned to the people, maybe a charity or some local projects that will benefit communities...

What do you think?

(I'm guessing lots of you will hate the idea... I know it goes against the free nature of the web etc... but still... discuss)
