Behalf Of Alberto Monteiro
If I were a .nler and I wanted to break into the list to cause trouble, I would _never_ use a .nl address. There are so many other free emailiers, like yahoo, hotmail, etc.
Alberto has a point. I've suffered from the paranoia that anyone from that particular address might be a certain someone. Perhaps it's time to put that behind us? We can't judge an entire country on the basis of one individual, can we?
No, we can't, but as I wrote in an off-list message to an anonymous friend in the Netherlands, the reality is that showing up with an email address from the same ISP as a certain individual, having extraordinarily detailed information about the list's troubles with that certain individual (despite the fact that the list archives at mccmedia.com don't even go back that far) , and immediately launching the same kinds of attacks as that certain individual on the same three or four people on the list as that certain individual naturally leads one to assume that you /are/ that certain individual.
My advice to my anonymous friend in the Netherlands was to sign up from Yahoo and don't act like that certain individual.
