Your property is not the issue. It's your right to interfere with *my* property that's the issue. >Then there's no problem, because the people who create blocklists >don't care about what you like. People who create blocklists not caring is *precisely* the problem. >If somebody hands me a letter for you and says to fly to wherever you >live and hand it to you, am I violating your First Amendment rights >by dropping it on the floor? Yes, if you hold up the mail truck or the postman who's trying to deliver it to me. >How can you test whether or not an IP address belongs to a >spam-friendly ISP? I didn't say to test whether or not an IP address belongs to a spam-friendly ISP. I said to test whether or not spam is emanating from that IP. Testing anything other that that is, again, exactly the source of the problem. It's trying to force someone to control a siutation that they have no easily-available means of controlling. That's what the victims of blocklists don't like. >So, your test was satisfied. No it wasn't. You simply tried to redirect the cause of the collateral damage to the ISP rather than the blocklisters. >My point is that there does not seem to be an existing ISP that runs >the way you want. Why do you think that is? Actually, there are plenty of ISP's that run the way I want. It's the blocklists that are causing the problems with their callous attitudes whereby they assume that they should not have to be responsible for their actions and remedy and incorrect listings they have. >A business, including an ISP, is not required to allow anything just >because there's no law prohibiting it.

And that pertains to a lack of legislation making spam illegal how? _______________________________________________ spamcon-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.spamcon.org/mailman/listinfo/spamcon-general#subscribers Subscribe, unsubscribe, etc: Use the URL above or send "help" in body of message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Contact administrator: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
