Blog for Antispam and Content Filtering Observations

Retroactively Editing Reality

I found an interesting article on a spam service trying to erase its spamming past ... Spam-fighting service tries to airbrush past

I love this quote from the article... "retroactively editing reality". It would be nice if we could all remove evidence of past mistakes. A historical record, altered and cleaned with 20/20 hindsight.

There's several "letters-to-the-editor" I think I'd like removed from my more activist past of 30 years ago.

While historical evidence can be interpreted differently, the basic documents should remain unaltered and untouched by hindsight revisions.
