An article by John Schwartz <schwartzj@washpost.com> in today's (Monday 12/26) Washington Post Business Section details some of the sticky issues about cancelbots possibly becoming censorship. My only complaint is that the article doesn't mention that CancelMoose[TM] issues cancels based on frequency and not on content, and in fact has made it clear on a number of occasions just how much he/she/it would rather not have had to cancel a well-meaning message, but did so because it was spam -- and spam is always spam. -------------========== J.D.
