I would like to invite the mail list administrator to participate in this discussion (if desired) and clarify for all whether this argument is "OK." If it is not "OK," I request some clarification. >>> Doing what you did is *expressly* against The AUP of your hosting >>> services provider, Webfusion, Ltd. >>> <http://www.123-reg.co.uk/terms/aup.shtml> >> Yes.

In fact, I did not agree to that. The agreement is between me and another company who I obtain the service from. Obviously, the company you mention are the ones who provide the actual service, and the brand I used is clearly a middle-man. If they are in violation, I do not know about it. Still, this is irrelevant as it has nothing to do with my ability to post to these lists. >>> That said, you've _made_ your rules, and now *you8 get to live by them. >> I do not understand this statement.

Everyone has the right to control what appears in their mail box. Only by raising awareness of the possibility that a world without money can exist will it ever come to fruition, and by speaking or writing to others on this planet I am able to let them know they can still educate themselves. >>> But, then, you're a spammer. >> Try not to think of me as someone different. > > You _are_ different. *PROVEN* by your actions. I am the same as you. We are both sending mail to these lists, and we are discussing. Your actions are not that different from mine. > And someone I do -not_ care to associate with.

I value when people teach me the error of my ways, and I do not see it as damaging to my ego. Instead, I feel enlightened, knowing full well that I am now aware of what I was doing wrong, and I can make a change inside of me.
