While the discussion of political and legal issues involving spam have
been interesting, I think it should be pointed out that List-Managers
is not a general-purpose spam/anti-spam discussion forum. There are
a number of such forums on the Net, both mailing lists and newsgroups,
and much of the recent discussion really belongs there.
Discussions of spam and anti-spam techniques and policies as they
affect the management, maintenance, and use of Internet mailing lists
are of course welcome. General political/legal/policy arguments about
spam should be taken elsewhere. When this issue has arisen in the
past, this has been the overwhelming consensus of the list members.
(Needless to say, the above remarks are not directed toward any particular
individual, faction, or position.)
Thanks,
