jimcyl writes "It seems that that Network Associates, makers of McAfee, have managed to extract a broad anti-spam patent from the USPTO. And it gets better. Apparently, the patent covers Bayesian filtering, which Paul Graham started talking about in August, 2002. I'm disappointed, but hardly suprised. I talk more about this in my own blog."
