Alright - I'll end the useless political debate with a short and very reasonable solution.
I'll do it. I'll rule the Internet - it won't cost much, just 1 penny per day per IP addres, from the owner of each IP address. Think of it - I'm just, fair, conscientious, dislike all governments and most corporations, and am devilishly handsome and have a rapier wit (bated, but nonetheless...). I think I'm eminiently qualified. Bow down to me, all of you. I'll mandate blocking port 25 inbound and outbound on all dynamically assigned IP addresses, for starters. You'll love it. I won't even mandate sacrificial animals for at least a couple of years. Kurt | Ok. I dun want to dive into a useless political debate...
