>From the contents of a relatively unfiltered mailbox (which fortunately is not widely advertised and I check it only once each few weeks), Leiberman indeed uses very much the political exemption.
I got in that mailbox a lot of spam from: * Israel Beitanu (Leiberman's party) - sends tons of spam. No wonder he obtained the exemption, presumably already then he planned on utilizing this method of getting votes. * The party of the disabled (מפלגת הנכים) are spammers as well. * Israel Hazaka (Dr. Ephraim Sneh) are spammers as well. I already blogged about my annoyance at a party which I'd support otherwise but are now taboo because they are spammers (the party of the disabled). --- Omer On Sun, 2009-02-08 at 10:25 +0200, ronys wrote: > Indeed it's legal.
