Why has everyone I've spoken with who supports the DUL been a complete
bastard about it? "I have absolutely no sympathy for you..." and "You
don't like it, tough." Of course, my "height of fucking stupidity" comment
may have had something to do with that.
I don't have to beg for a mail relay. I run an ISP, a very spam-unfriendly
one at that. But who are you to tell me I can't let my users run "servers"
from dialups (although none of them do) as long as they stick to my AUP
(posted on the web, if anyone here cares to look at it)?
I have philosophical objections to the DUL, people. I question its
usefulness/inconvenience ratio. I'm not out to help spammers, for
Christ's sake.
Now sod off, the lot of you ;)
