I'm not against whitelisting, per se. I'm just afraid that if we whitelist to solve a few peoples problems, then the underlying fail-itude won't get solved (and everyone not in the whitelist will still be screwed). Let's solve the fail first, then implement the whitelist if it still makes any sense. Fixing the fail pays way bigger dividends. -- Russell Senior, Secretary [email protected] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ The Personal Telco Project - http://www.personaltelco.net/ Donate to PTP: http://www.personaltelco.net/donate Archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.wireless.portland.general/ Etiquette: http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/MailingListEtiquette List information: http://lists.personaltelco.net To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
