What's the news here?
That Bill Gates was wrong or that this Keizer guy is up for a Keen Sense of the Obvious Award? And "most" email experts? You mean there's an email "expert" somewhere who thinks we've solved the spam problem????

Bill Gates Was Wrong About 'Solving' Spam
By Gregg Keizer Courtesy of TechWeb News
Two years ago Tuesday, Bill Gates predicted that spam would be a "solved" problem by now, a prognostication that, say most e-mail experts, was as off-base as most of Nostradamus' forecasts.
Jan. 24, 2004, Gates told a group at the World Economic Forum that "two years from now, spam will be solved." During the talk, Gates pinned his prediction on the creation of an authentication scheme to verify senders' identities, as well as the hope that some kind of micropayment structure could be created for levying fees on e-mail. ¶ 8:56 AM
