Classic, John, just classic. " We've got the most sites, so we can
make whatever rules we feel like." A truly wonderful example of how
international networking can really help to bring together people
from all over the world. So they can get into flame wars.
And of course, the laissez-faire position you're defending that says
it's ok to send unsolicited junk email would have to mean that it's also
ok to bounce the same mail back, with perhaps the entire man directory
appended, n'est pas. After all, sauce for the goose and all that.
