If someone tries to > send legitimate mail and it fails, best of luck, hotmail exists It violates this because it is, for the most part, involuntary. Furthermore it is a violation of certain fundamental principles of freedom of association and communications besides being a kind of repulsive and rather juvenille vigilante activity in response to the rather messy liberties of a democracy. I *do* have the right to send flyers in an election to my constituents. I *do* have the right to mail announcments to my neighbours. *No-one* have the right to interfere with these lawful activities in a civil society. You are all - Vixie foremost - degrading into envelope steaming, mail trashing creeps. hardly the society I want to see for the digital age.
