This is the most ludicrous argument I have ever heard. How many people are denied the innocent pleasures of the internet because they have to take such extreme measures to protect themselves against mind-rotting garbage. Spam is not an expression of self it is an infringment on my space, an uninvited theft of my time and energy. And you speak as though these glorious spammers are somehow proving how free we are from Government interference..is that the free market economy at work .. I will do you a favour, I will auto-forward the spam I get to you ok ? then you can comfort yourself that you are defending the right of every arsehole to annoy me. You will be happy and so will I :) Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
