To begin with, the ban on encrypted messages makes no sense because people who do not have the key to read the messages can obviously not receive them, and even people who do have the key must make an active effort to read the messages. I will ignore that for the moment, however, and address this pervasive notion that words can cause more harm than letter bombs.
Stupidity is it's own virtue. If people, who are afraid of fat electrons crowding their email-box, don't bother to _read_the_manual_ that's their fault. There's a wonderful tool called the "filter", that can protect these virtual innocents from themselves. Unfortunately, no such device exists for _real_mail_. If they don't want email from certain individuals, then they can put those people into the filter and ignore them as blissfully as they ignore reality itself.
