-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Just sent you [yet another] EFF note on spamblocking / moveon.org Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2004 10:41:46 +0530 From: Suresh Ramasubramanian <suresh@private> To: declan@private CC: suresh@private Hi Declan I just sent you a copy of the EFF document at www.eff.org/wp/?f=SpamCollateralDamage.html That article tends to ignore certain facts.. such as that moveon.org is certainly not - in several cases - delivering email to people that want it ... like, for example: http://www.politechbot.com/p-04835.html In addition - I've disagreed with both these people about their stance on spam .. discussions you were kind enough to cover on politech. I might just mention these as well .. http://www.hserus.net/cindycohn-reply.txt http://www.hserus.net/brad-reply.txt and wrt Annalee .. she earlier posted an article to politech about earthlink's spam filters blocking her mailserver as an open relay, and tried to bring in the Co$ background of one / more of earthlink's founders into the picture to hint that it was all part of an evil plan http://seclists.org/lists/politech/2002/Sep/0018.html While I don't like that "church" any more than she does, that was a cheap shot, especially as I've known and worked with my counterparts on the earthlink postmaster / abuse team for the last several years, and found them quite proactive, but fair and definitely not extremist in dealing with spam related issues. Several replies - including mine - to her politech post are below .. http://seclists.org/lists/politech/2002/Sep/0020.html All old news .. moveon.org hasn't changed their policies yet. Cindy and Annalee continue to think spam filtering is an infringement of free speech, and are quite willing to retain their beliefs enough to ignore / gloss over several facts that tell a completely different story. regards srs ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
