  more academic lameness

many people get sick of spam, but rarely do they do anything about it.

three MIT students respond to spam-like requests with a computer generated submission of a nonsensical string of buzzwords...which still got accepted

it becomes increasingly clear that academia shuns dissent--even trying to legally block opponents--and relies on questionable research which is easily debunked.

although studies and/or papers can be useful, question everything since it is easy to play with polls, surveys, etc
