Which is what I concede I should have more clearly stated.  I sort of
thought it was implied that, as someone who has been on SPAM-L since its
inception, I wasn't trying to nuke myself.  The context was ORBS and
blacklisting, specifically the blacklisting of Listserv servers, and my
experience in that forum, on that subject, was an approximation of a
Satanist at the Salem Witch Trials.  The cowardice comment is a mystery...
I've said nothing here that I didn't say quite emphatically in SPAM-L during
the middle of December.  Including Ad Hominem attacks (which I literally
had to provide a dictionary definition of for the benefit the author of the
proposal... ergo his ON LIST comment that he thought it meant "off topic"),
name calling and massive amounts of saracasm.
