Actually, the implication is that a challenge/response system (preferrably 
using cryptographic keys to establish a web of trust) has a much better 
chance of succeeding than content analysis. Spammers will always be able to 
immitate useful content but faking trust metrics could be made very, very 
difficult. TMDA is a first, albeit crude, step in the right direction.

Way off topic and a matter of religious taste though. Take it up with you in 
private email if you like.
