Esther Dyson v/s Danny O'Brien, moderated by Mitch Kapor.  Should prove "interesting".

I'm sure they could do with a few alternate viewpoints, that are rather more informed than the ones they usually trot out on this or any other spam related issue

> In light of AOL's adopting a "certified" email system, EFF is hosting a debate on the future of email. With distinguished entrepreneur Mitch Kapor moderating, EFF Activist Coordinator Danny O'Brien and renowned tech expert Esther Dyson will discuss the potential consequences if people have to pay to send email.
