  I don't like the idea either and I have prepared a 'standard msg' to
send out.  This worked out well until I received a request from a
list owner to filter out an entire commercial network due to abuse
on one list.  I'm still uncomfortable with the 'concept' of filtering
out everyone on a network because of one person.  Since I received
no reply from the postmaster (except a "Got your mail, get back to.")
I guess they didn't care one way or the other.
