I can certainly understand how end users or senders would feel that way, and many ISP's need to start doing a much better job of communicating their policies to their customers -- that's certainly not restricted to e-mail. However, using the EFF's hard-won and extremely critical influence to restrict an ISP's ability to manage their own systems doesn't seem like a good long-term solution to that problem. -- J.D.
