This is the tragedy of the commons all over again. "Free goods" carry problems. The solution is to charge a nominal fee for email, say 2 cents each. The question is how the internet could implement that.

online. Then we wouldn't have clueless dweebs answering this stuff and
making it worthwhile to the spammers.
