Dear honorable Mr. Mindfuq, I am from this point forward blocking all mail traffic from you to the networks I control. None of your carefully constructed communicative, copyrighted packets will be delivered on to my networks. I promise. I choose not to expend my resources forwarding your data beyond my router. I assume you consider this a DoS, through some muffinhead logic that you've devised. If that logic is well formed, I assume it also explains the presence of fluoride in our water rather well. It is unclear to me what service I am legally obligated to be providing you, and what exactly I'm denying you. I'm also sure you'd love to explain it, however, you can't. You also can't explain it to any of the people to whom I provide internet related services, at least via email from your present address. Similarly, I deny you the privilege of retransmitting your voice over my loudspeakers. I have no automated method for enforcing that, but I'll do my best. You also may not speak your mind on my couch. Bye bye. -j -- Jamie Lawrence jal@jal.org "For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings.
