It can clearly move big players like earthlink and others.If it is an effective power to move big players, it would seem that it has been at least moderately successful in acheiving its' desired goals.
Except that the goal was to stop spam, not just make people jump through hoops. I haven't seen any change in spam volume. So I think it has been ineffective at achieving its goals. A gun has effective power too. Except that it should be used by Police Officers to stop crime, and not by random vigilantes to shoot whomever they please and ask questions later. And like any powerful tool, there should be some responsibility for its use and misuse. Paul has none. --Dean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc dean () av8 com LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP http://www.av8.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
