I was auto-subscribed to Dean's "ietf-honest" mailing list, and I'm unhappy about it.
As I think was mentioned a day or two ago on this list, the reasonable way I found to avoid these auto-subscriptions to ietf-honest was to block packets from the originating network. I had a very enjoyable few days following the installation of those packet filters.
However, it now seems that (a) any address I've used in the past is now fair game, and not just the addresses I'm using today, and (b) it's not just the ietf list, but working group lists too, e.g. see below. I don't have the same ability to do server-side filtering or packet blocking on other mail accounts.
I have lost my sense of humour about this. It's hard to see this as anything other than a systematic attempt to disrupt IETF activities.
I am generally capable of taking care of my own mail abuse problems, but I'm annoyed that I have to, and I'm annoyed that the pool of volunteer hours available to the IETF to get work done is being deliberately eroded by someone whose current and past behaviour, to me, seems to have little intent other than to waste peoples' time.
If there's a way for the IETF leadership, or the IETF secretariat, or some other centralised body to take some initiative here and reduce the disruption for the benefit of all those trying to get work done, I at least would appreciate it.

This mailing list is for IETF DNSOP WG members to discuss IETF business without improper censorship. It does not represent the IETF but does represent some IETF members. This list was created by IADL.ORG (www.iadl.org) because of dishonest filtering by the IESG. See http://www.av8.net/IETF-watch for more information on the corrupt activities of officials of the Internet Society, Inc (ISOC) IETF Activity, and their connection to other corrupt activities. You were probably added to this list because you participated in DNSOP@xxxxxxxx discussion, and that list is used to determine consensus for ISOC IETF Activity actions. Consensus is a democratic activity of the ISOC, which is a U.S. non-profit, tax exempt membership corporation. ALL members of the ISOC IETF have a property right to participate in its democratic decision processes. [see U.S. v. Local 560, extortion (Hobbs Act) and racketeering by mafia that took over a Union and tried to prevent participation by those opposing the mafia] Email sent to this list will be forwarded to dnsop@xxxxxxxxx Ordinary IETF members should feel free to unsubscribe from this list if they choose. IETF representatives (e.g. Working Group Chairs) have a duty to the corporation to read email sent to them on IETF business, and should not try to unsubscribe.
