It makes sense to me that a spammer would find a broke undergrad in CompSci and say, "hey, I'll pay you $100 to grab me a copy of every email address that's on the global keyserver network." "Infinite" resources is putting things a little strongly. "Routine and unexceptional business expense" is more accurate. > The world is not a perfect place, but filled with shades of gray.

Given this, I can't engage your question since it seems built on assumptions that are not true. _______________________________________________ Sks-devel mailing list Sks-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/sks-devel
