Can you imagine asking for permission every time you wanted to cross the street? And being _licensed_ for it? That was not a commentary on whether we should or should not block port 25. I _am_ saying we should not use analogies to justify it one way or the other, since this is really a rather new, different thing. (BTW: That includes the cultural thing Randy said too, although I am an American and absolutely identify with what he said.) We've done pretty well in the past letting each operator decide on their own about new ideas, and the majority can ostracize the bad apples. Then again, I did say this is new, and I meant it, so perhaps even past Internet experience might not be enough.... There, I think I've said absolutely nothing, so I'm right in keeping with this thread in general. Back to your regularly scheduled flame fest. :) -- TTFN, patrick
