Guys, Dean Anderson obviously supports and defends SPAM. No further conversation with him could lead to anything constructive. Stop feeding the Troll, now. E.T. -----Original Message----- From: owner-ietf@ietf.org [mailto:owner-ietf@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Dean Anderson Sent: mercredi 28 mai 2003 3:04 To: Eric A. Hall Cc: John Stracke; ietf@ietf.org Subject: Re: spam (...) So what? That is no reason to ban spam. (...) This isn't an issue. No one said your life would be free from trash. Furthermore, there are do-not-send lists. If anti-spammers abuse those lists, that isn't a justification to ban spam. (...) No, I'm saying that spam has insignificantly small cost, and that trying to inflate the cost somehow isn't a valid reason for banning spam. (...) 3) Thats just stupid and unreasonable behavior. Stupidity and willfull recklessness aren't either common or justifications for banning spam. (...) No, it isn't, despite your continued assertions. You have failed to present a case that spam costs any money, or interferes with any reaonable person's email.
