Looking through a shitload of old messages, looks like someone decided to write some mail in my own name. Carefully looking at the headers shows that this was sent through torfree.net or something, and didn't orginate here. Too bad I didn't spot this earlier... =====================================Kaos=Keraunos=Kybernetos============== .+.^.+.| Ray Arachelian | "If you wanna touch the sky, you must |./|\. ..\|/..|sunder@sundernet.com| be prepared to die.

Comment: Authenticated sender is <sunder@brainlink.com> Status: RO X-Status: Did you pay for your TV? Do you buy electricity by the KWH? Pay a monthly cable bill? If so, then why isn't a television commercial considered theft of your televised resources? Doesn't it cost something to ride the bus? Then why aren't the public transport's advertisers guilty of stealing your wallspace? What about newspapers, magazines, radio stations, going to the movies, driving on any road, almost any PAID activity in life? Each has its attendent advertisments and commercials. We PAY for an enormous percentage of solicitations. Everyday.

> WHY SHOULD YOUR EMAIL BOX BE ANY DIFFERENT? <<<<<<<

Fact is, it isn't. Nor will it ever be. When you make any contact in public via any media or communication form, there will come invitations, solicitations, possibly vexations and the like. It's one of the prices we must pay in order to be able to communicate at all.
