> > Sorry for the spam, I figured this may interest people. Why would people reading an internationally distributed mailing list on the technicalities of FreeBSD be interested in reading large chunks of US law? Here's another question. If someone spams a mailing list, what is the most effective response? a. Post to the list saying "someone's spammed this list, how outrageous!" b. Post to the list saying "let's mailbomb the bastard!" c. Post to the list saying "me too!" d. Mail the postmasters of the site and their provider to politely inform them of the incident. (No, I don't like spam either and yes, I know this posting adds to the noise. My justification is the hope that it may lead people to stop and think the next time this happens, instead of charging in with pointless knee-jerk reactions which make things ten times worse).
