I disagree with automated messages being spam. I disagree strongly. Why, because you do not know what is being automated or not being automated and to which extent. Is it spam to say hello or to say how are you? You can write, "HOW ARE YOU?" many times. So, is saying "HELLO" spam because it can be said again and again. Where do you draw the line of what is spam or not? Which words? Which phrases? What if it SPAM was able to reword and rephrase the SPAM to make it look like it is NOT SPAM? Then, that would be another problem, if you were to try to stop SPAM, that is if SPAM became smart enough to hide, to appear not to be automated, repeated, SPAM, hateful, or whatever. I favor free markets.

I kind of like RC. That is good, it seems.
