You've got mail, and maybe gonorrhea

On the surface, an interesting and innovative idea. The only problem: it'll never really work. Two words: SPAM filters. Anonymous mail that mentions anything sexual is almost certainly SPAM, and will be treated accordingly. Even when it's not.

And folks still wonder what I mean when I talk about the "hidden" social costs that SPAM inflicts on all of us.

New sites are designed to help people tell sexual partners--anonymously, if they wish--to get tested for STDs.
