Re: Despamming wholesale dialup

You are so full of it.  You are the one who takes every opportunity to talk
about spam.  I just debunk you every once in while when the sh*t gets too
deep.  You are the one who can be accused of "preaching".

I'll note that "preaching" requires a religous belief unsupported by fact
or reason.  A "believer" must deny reality to have faith in something that
one is not likely to obtain in their lifetime.

I think that your unrealistic anti-spamming efforts fit that discription
more than my revealing your fallacies does.

Not only have you been proven wrong in your claims on spam costs, etc, as
well as wrong about the relevant laws which might be applicable, but more
importantly and more critical to a political movement of any kind, you have
been proven wrong about the nature and capabilities of your political
enemies.  In short, you have been a complete fool, by any measure.

So perhaps you can shut up now.

Give it a rest.  You won't be stopping spam.  Dream on if you like. 

I already said, at the beginning of the thread, that it's off-topic.

But of course you jumped at the chance to start preaching again. As I
pointed out, and as Ray Everrett-Church also pointed out, you're wrong.
End of discussion, and I am not going to post anything further on this topic
to NANOG.
