I think it's a typo. I think Declan meant reputation punishing tool. If he didn't, he should have. Good riddance to bad rubbish--though, as I suppose would Declan or even Choate, I'd defend the bastard's right to be a bastard, so long as he's willing to pay up when he causes real damage--or just gets caught in an arbitrary system not of his own arbitrary devise, such as the courts. If you're going to be a tyrant, you'd better be able to cope with it. Apparently Mr. ORBS wasn't. MacN On Mon, 11 Jun 2001 measl@mfn.org wrote:

Total Bullshit.
None of my domains have *ever* had a single spamming incident, yet we were on their list. I guess our reputation was that we were *potential* spammers?
Fuck ORBS.

If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------
