Testy comments:

I always knew it could happen - someone who can not only spell, but
reason also, would come out for spam.  (sigh) I visited the Cato page
at: http://www.cato.org/  The Cato testimony was given by Wayne Crews,
their Director of Technology Policy.   You can reach him at:
wcrews@cato.org

My impression is that he is caught up in the theoretical beauty of
"Promoting Public Policy Based on Individual Liberty, Limited
Government, Free Markets and Peace." to the point where he is blind to
the current state of the net, and the relatively modest regulations that
would allow us to battle spammers on even ground.

These are other people who work there.  Since they put their addresses
out where any passing 'bot can harvest them, I doubt they will mind my
listing them here, in case you should want to ask his co-workers how
they feel about it:
