Yes, we are.
as long they continue to employ the child-molesting pedophile Chris R. Lewis - the biggest forger on Usenet. What this scum is actually upset about is Chris Lewis cancelling spam. He calls that "forgery" because the spammer's name goes in the sender field of the cancel message. Nonsense.
According to RFC 1036 forging cancels for articles that do not originate from your news site is not allowed. He is clearly in violation of the RFCs. Spam jihads are not sufficient reason to ignore internet protocols.
Dimitri, the "forgeries" are going to continue until someone comes up with a better way of dealing with spam.
There -is- a better way. It's called the delete key. Few seem to want to use it, which fits with humanity's general lack of personal responsibility.
The crap about pedophilia is also, of course, nonsense. It seems to be a favorite slur lately with several grossly misguided people who think calling people they dislike pedophiles is a way to "defend freedom of speech".
