Re: Digital Bill of Rights for Kooks

Yo BOB, 

How do I configure my router for that?

foo# conf t
foo(config)#ip digital-bill
                ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Or is it this I'm looking for:

foo(config)#ip filter-KOOKMAIL
foo(config)#

I recommend the procmail "KOOK" autoresponder for circumstances such as
these.

Bob's posts have no relevance to this group and are against this charter.
He is YAK (Yet Another Kook) that needs a hobby.  The Cabal will find him,
but until then, might someone from merit please tell him to go away if
he's not going to abide by the charter.  You may ignore his cries of
censorhip.

Of course KOOKs oftentimes think rules don't apply to them, but that's
another story, and not fodder for NANOG.

Please someone, post something technical before I cry.

Thanks,

Charles

OK Bob, what do you propose as an alternative to MAPS/RBL that 
will force ISPs regardless of size (local provider with 100 
dialups to MSN), and providers regardless of infrastructure, to 
enforce a commonly agreed upon rule?

 There is absolutely no reason for
 ISPs to do *anything*. Except for
 implementing a USER CONFIGURABLE
 INTERFACE that allows personal
 filtering of E-Mail *before* it
 is downloaded. I called this the
 ALLISAT INDEX once upon a time
 but what is a name?

 The concept is relatively simple.
 First let me say I hate that
 commercial shit e-mail just like
 anyone else. However - rarely -
 once in a hundred junk mails -
 there is actually something of
 interest. Surprise, surprise!
 Regardless... if Eudora had a
 nice Dialogue box that popped
 up allowing me to tell my mail
 server exactly what I wanted
 deleted - be that a stupid
 black list like Vixie's or
 some other filter template -
 I would be very happy. But  I
 also want the bloody choice
 on any and every Public level 
 ISP to recieve *EVERYTHING*.
 ALL the junk, all the trash, as
 in everything.

 ISP's have no other job but
 sending streams of stuff to and
 fro. It is my job, as an individual
 to determine what is "signal" and
 what is "noise". ISP's open very
 dangerous doors when they venture
 anywhere near content censorship.
 So I say back off! It's none
 of your damned business where
 anything comes from or where it's
 going. Period.
