I invited Jim Hobuss (the alleged censorhappy spammer) to reply to the list, and he took me up on my offer.

What I do know is the following: 1) The email sent to Fraase originally, which he refers to as spam, was not illegal. It included valid contact information, and remove instructions. 2) The snippets of email Fraase includes on the referenced Web page he posted are fabrications of the actual correspondence that occurred between us. 3) The name-calling and character bashing Fraase includes on his site present a situation for him where he is culpible for disruption of business, slander, and defamation of character. 4) My attorney sent Fraase a letter, again which he misrepresented, seeking immediate removal of the onerous Web page. 5) Fraase is continuing his beligerance in this matter. Therefore, consequential and more severe actions will now be initiated and followed through to conclusion. An acceptable conclusion is no longer a removal of the Web page. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
