Ah, but they're not draconian. Our membership overwhelmingly favored them. >For many ISPs, there is no "across the board", or the number of >service classes is so large that you can not easily divide all >of the machines into a role per service class. We have multiple levels of membership -- analogous to the "service classes" of a for-profit ISP. And some of those levels leave the decision to filter (or not to) up to the member. The only complaint we have ever had: One member with a fixed IP and a "nailed-up" dialup line recently complained that we were NOT fltering for them. We went over one day, during lunch hour, and helped them set up their server to do so. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
