To borrow an analogy from another thread, if the government spams enough cypherpunks with a few Kilobytes here and there, they will eventually raise the ire of a Rick Osborne enough that he will send them back a few Gigabytes in return. And if Ross Wright's computer gets caught in the crossfire...
Now, if you had used anyone but Ross in that example, I might have agreed with your point. ;) [[[ Seriously though, before it begins to seem as thought I have a personal vendetta against Mr Wright, I shall put it to rest with an emphatic *I do not*. I like to think I'm mature enough to separate my opionion of a person from my opinion of their opinions. ]]] TruthMonger does bring up a good point, though, again proving that I am indeed a self-centered asshole. In all of the glorious "Go Internet! Down with the evil spam!" hype lately, I'd forgotten that point A to point B isn't a straight line. To send a GB or so across to, for example, Sanford, it might indeed traipse across Ross' server, for which I'm sure Ross would curse my name thoroughly. Hmm... this means I need to figure something else out ... I really should go and cancel that pamphlet drop ... _________ o s b o r n e @ g a t e w a y . g r u m m a n . c o m _________ "And my middle name used to be helping people, The 'helping people' Tick."
