Civility is great ... but ...
1. It also contains the dreadful "think tank" syndrom, close to deadly club
closeness indeed ...
2. Many good ideas and interesting contacts I got from mails speeding out of
the wild unknown into my mail box ...
All in all, I prefer this wild living world to the civility you propose ...

Objet : [unrev-II] Email based on invitation & introduction
> Back in the old days (before I had grown up) introductions
> were everything. You did business with someone *after*
> being introduced to them -- and probably *only* if you
> were introduced by someone the person trusted.
>
> Clubs, too, were important part of the contact-process.
> We could kill spam in a heartbeat with a system that
> modeled these two systems.
>
> Introduction
> A special message arrives that includes an introduction.
>
> Acceptance
> If the recipient trusts the sender, then clicking a
> single button adds the address(es) on the list to the
> list of recognized contacts.
>
> Invitation
> If two people are both one a mailing list, one can
> send an invitation to the other to initiate a
> dialog. Doing so puts the recipient on the sender's
> list of recognized contacts. If the recipient accepts
> the invitation, the sender is placed on the recipient's
> list of recognized contacts.
>
> Rejection
> Being thrown out of a club (thrown off a list) would
> cause a "rejection letter" to go out to all members of
> the list. The letter would be ignored by anyone who
> did not have the malfeasant on their contact list. Anyone
> who did have that person as a contact would receive a
> message. Clicking a button would then remove that person
> from the recognized contact list.
>
> A system with such characteristics would undoubtedly go
> a long way towards returning a degree of civility to the
> internet. It would promote civil discourse and politeness,
> by making it impossible to contact anyone who does not
> wish to be contacted.
