Scan the buggers back then.
The possibility exists that ORBS would consider that an ORBSable offence/attack/something, and ORBSulate the source netblock for doing so. There are, in my opinion, obvious and blatant perils in using an opt-in spam-blocking service which is controlled by anything other than an ISOCNZ[1]-style organisation, as opposed to a single person or corporate entity which may let it's own agenda items become influences on the aforementioned spam-blocking system. JSR [1] And by ISOCNZ, I mean a pure, untainted ISOCNZ-style body, with democracy, representation, input from the industry, and all that other good stuff. An ISOCNZ which casts it's shadow on the wall of the cave, if you will. In fact, running such a spam-blocking service is arguably something that ISOCNZ _should_ be doing. -- John S Russell Geek & Gentleman of Leisure --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
