Whatever works for you. but just because I expess outrageous
ideas does not mean I am screaming John. I am a Stoic.
And while you may have an erroneous concept of what i might like,
what is more important is the fact that the world does not care
what I might like, so I dont get all wrought up about it. I cant
imagine that my ideas are so unique that they would need me to
promulgate them. No, I express them to give people a head's up
that these issues are out there. They aint going away.
They have prolly always been out there, but the media to present
them, outside of some large organizational support, has not
existed before the Internet. An organization claiming to
represent individuals, is still an organization, and still develops
the same turf consciousness, and therefore has it's own agenda
outside of the individuals it claims to represent, ergo, oxymoronic.
The net allows us to express directly, without representation. I am
here because I see that cheap obsolete computers can still do that.
We all read this in plain ASCII, which could be handled by the
original 8088.
With regard to SPAM, you, or any other individual can sent out as
much email as you like to as many others as you like. That is free
speech. But to do that, we have your address. When a machine does
that, there is no return address. However, every piece of Spam
does have a website or email address. Maybe what we need is a
daemon which would forward all spam from one spammer to the next
rather than just deleting it. If we all had such a daemon, then
we could flood their servers, making it difficult to sort out
the customers they want. Let the daemons duke it out.
