I believe strongly that ALL IT admins would be well guided by reading
the SAGE ethics guide
http://www.pccc.com/base.cgim?template=sage_code_of_ethics
Can't recommend it highly enough and I think it would guide well in this
gray areas on how to handle things.
I didn't like that a poster with good intentions was attacked because he
couldn't discuss specifics. To me, that's when I look at the
credibility of the speaker to gauge the credibility of the story.
Further, I can't think of a single tenant of the ethics guidelines that
DFS didn't maintain in his posting AND his credibility in the anti-spam
community is as excellent (as long as you ignore his commercials:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccIzZS_wD6U).
Anyway, there are a lot of bad actors out there that we need to focus on
stopping. Attacking good actors just because we don't like their
"acting" (and DFS' acting is horrible) just helps the bastard spammers.
Please keep this in mind in the future.
