A reader of Wired magazine sent this, passed along to you:
Anti-spam activists confirm that a growing number of beleaguered systems
administrators are now blocking all e-mail originating from Asia from their
systems, in an attempt to choke off a flood of spam from China, Taiwan and
Korea, an action that has upset non-spamming Asian e-mailers.
"Spammers and geeks are managing to do to China's people what the government
has attempted but been unable to do," said Mike Markham, an English language
teacher in Beijing. "We are slowly being cut off from participating in the most
democratic system ever developed -- e-mail."
