RE: META: Filter Detweiler
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I have to "strongly disagree" with Hal's suggestion that we source filter LD or anyone else. While I am as sick of him as the rest, I think that Sandy's Pledge is a much better idea. I've been observing my own version of the Pledge for about a month. I even thought about ignoring Hal's post. But it suggests something that is contrary to the fundamental ideas that I believe in: we should be using technology to improve privacy and our personal freedom. This starts with freedom of speach. The obvious solution is for each person to put LD, SBoxx, etc. in their own kill file. If your mail client doesn't support a kill file, you can always use the "d" command. Or find a client that supports kill files. Or even write some code! For folks that are paying good money to retreive trash messages that are simply going to be deleted, I suggest you look for an alternative service. There are many flat-rate services. Netcom is one, and I use it instead of the "free" services that GMU provides for all students. Send mail to "info_deli_server@netcom.com" with the body "get PDIAL" to get a list of servers accross the country and some international providers as well.
