So you believe the ISP should censor our mail, or at least be given the opportunity? You believe that "Hobbyists and Freaks" especially need for their mail to be subject to screening, but corporations don't? They do spam filtering. What's next? Adding advertisements? Harvesting the addresses and selling them to spammers? Allowing certain spam to get through, for a price? Discarding your own mail as spam, because you used a naughty word? Discarding your own mail as spam because of your political beliefs? It is worth putting up with some spam to get a free, uncensored, fast email system. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
