By the way, today's remailers appear to be primarily _experiments_ or _casual services_, not altruistic services for some nebulous idea of "free speech." (Besides, if it's illegal for "spammers" to use remailers, so much for "free speech.")
Umm.... freedom of the press is freedom for he who owns the press. The remailer operators own the presses; why shouldn't they use whatever means they see fit to determine how they can be used? I encourage people not to discriminate on the basis of the political orientation of what's going through... but spam isn't political speech. (I agree that the government should not be in the business of determining what is spam and what is political speech - all speech should be protected - but remailer operators are not governments.) -Allen
