From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Tan Wee Yeh) [the $1000 charge for advertising] I love and support this scheme :) Maybe it should be extended to things like those get-rich-fast pyramid schemes. What? They're not spammers? I do consider it spam, and advertising, and chargable. One thing though, this list is relatively free of spammers. Because I go after every one. I've also called up the spamware suppliers and have asked them to filter out the debian.org domain. Bruce -- Bruce Perens K6BP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key.

Re: Mailing lists back up
The mailing lists are back up. A spam filter is in place. If you post from an address the list doesn't recognize, [EMAIL PROTECTED] will mail you a copy of the list rules, and will insist that you send it AGREE before it will let you post. I just noticed this. I wonder if perhaps the wording could be made a little friendlier; I found it a bit intimidating, especially about the $1000 fine. What if someone takes a dislike to me and can argue in court that my mail was spam? The mail filter also assumes guilt rather than innocence. :-( I haven't noticed their being any spam problems on this list anyway to date .. ? thanks, Hamish -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
