I did not even know that's what the proposal was about - I did say I
objected to the whole having not even read it - simply because of the
holier-than-thou wording of that specific paragraph.

Why do many - especially the uneducated and ignorant ones I suppose ? -
assume that everyone lives under US jurisdiction ?

I dislike SPAM, I have my own tools to fight SPAM and I have been doing it
for quite some time thanks.

When some meta-literate comes along telling me that their proposal is
perfection and that anyone not believing their preaching is the enemy, I get
annoyed.

Live with it.
