After all, doesn't the proposal also include a completely unfiltered version of the list, as well as a list made up of messages that the moderator rejected? Some of the most interesting projects to combat spam and other nonsense recently have tended to focus on ways to allow folks the ability to choose whose judgement they want to trust, and/or ignore the rants and spews of idiots without actually silencing them. These seem to be the solutions with the greatest potential for dealing with the problem without introducing lots of other social ramifications. I, for my part, will read the moderated version, and watch the list of rejects for things that Sandy's criteria for rejectable might be different from mine. I expect these differences to be few and far between, if they exist at all. If you prefer to read the list completely without moderation, that is your prerogative, and the proposed requirements for a moderated list (i.e., availability of an unmoderated list) allows that. What isn't clear to me is why some seem so interested in the (pointless) name-calling and opposition to the availability of the list in moderated format. - -- Matt Curtin Chief Scientist Megasoft, Inc. cmcurtin@research.megasoft.com http://www.research.megasoft.com/people/cmcurtin/ I speak only for myself Hacker Security Firewall Crypto PGP Privacy Unix Perl Java Internet Intranet -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: Have you encrypted your data today? iQEVAwUBMtGwPH6R34u/f3zNAQHvIgf+NUc0+a/BXxuYdqBC7+3LLrur4tYB4EQE ZJNmx++nMiHr6c3vIxlWxxK/i+jvJrOxsMl6Cn1kyALFOURpz3Bh8oJ8m8jsSaBQ uc20CXhy8x4JWlK1UZBSRSlfSLLyq584Iav6DtTPnas2sFHP9JQUSPrNtj82ab71 O7Zct+GFZ7EuSdf8otRDx5Yo+wElNxCYOtZvLGTXEgEL8kaXdm7JtTKHLpujU5Kx JpBqODyXiplt5+sy4F/0svFoH2pKFcDGKCsap0+er4t185yz6a1G/xkki+whrrG2 xJ9vAEc3HtDYZsE6PGQUdikOZXKXQeZ0qeGg7ffOxrmAagJB4Wscug== =mfvS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
