I think that encouraging politicians to pass laws about the content of email is a bad and dangerous thing to do. Do you really think that an anti-spam law will be carefully written to target only spam, and that their idea of spam corresponds to yours? Do you really think they will stop there, once they have a solid precedent for legislating against unpopular content on the net? -- Richard Braakman Will write free software for money.
