Ah, but now you are not talking about pornography, you are talking about manipulation and tricking people in to doing things. That's different. >> I believe that, generally, a person should be allowed to do whatever >> [s]he wants to unless it in some way harms other people.

I would very much like to see the spam mails in this group disappear, both those about porn and those about mortgages. But I was replying to this: >>> Also You don't mean to tell me that demeaning acts of pornography is >>> not oppressive to women? So my statement still stands. >> > Like i said I believe some of you want it to continue just to get your jollies. >> >> Ah, the AOLTW-Netscape-Mozilla-China-Communism-Pornstar conspiracy >> theory.

It was just a joke. We have a person in this newsgroup who likes to talk about his conspiracy theory of how the communist AOLTW-Netscape wants to make Mozilla please China. I found your suggestion that spam filters are not being installed because some people actually *like* spam almost as ridiculous as that theory. /Jonas
