 We have inalienable rights that
 extend beyond these rights to
 capitalize. These rights extend
 onto private property, into
 virtual networks, beyond fire- 
 walls (if we are behind them)
 and to the heart of Vixie's
 unconscionable activities. The
 guy is setting the stage for a
 cyber-gulag where the unacceptables
 are simply "Black Holed" into
 non-existance. First for allegedly
 sending mail to too many people.
 Next for whatever silly other
 offense these despots in training
 dream up. Slippery. Slope.
