Thank you. I'm happy to hear that John Gilmore does not speak for EFF on this matter. >Marc Perkel is EFF's systems administrator, and he cares very much about how >technical solutions to filtering are developed. Entirely understandable; the discussion would not have gotten as emotional as it has (that being a major reason why I've generally stayed out of it) if this were not true for many - most - people on here. >Please understand that, as a free speech organization, EFF staff and board >members are particularly sensitive to solutions that shut down desired >messages.

If we're too busy fighting each other, those who are against freedom of speech - including against the freedom not to listen (important not only as a right in and of itself, but in order to be able to _receive wanted speech_), namely spammers - will win. -Allen -- Allen Smith http://cesario.rutgers.edu/easmith/ February 1, 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia Ad Astra Per Aspera To The Stars Through Asperity ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Razor-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/razor-users
