Let's pause this very interesting thread for a momentary reality check. See ROKSO. The world's top spammers, accounting for the great bulk of the packets, are known by name, address and telephone number. Their upload paths are known. Their software is known. The stigmata of their transmissions are known. (In many cases their criminal records are known.) It is trivially easy to verify _at any moment_ whether a pollution-enabler has responded. Does everyone agree? Dean, you too? :) Jeffrey Race
