Sucks, don;t it? Context, indeed. :-) It is a maxim that is almost intolerable these days, no? No. The more people are inclined to shut-down services which make the Internet 'the Internet', the less usable it is. This whole situation needs a new approach -- the traditional approach has failed, and I believe that Jon's maxim is just as valid today as it was 2o years ago. We need to think differently. Otherwise, this thing we love so much, and sustains our libelyhoods, will cease to exist as we know it. Speaking for myself, of course. - ferg -- Barry Shein <[email protected]> wrote: On January 21, 2006 at 01:35 [email protected] (Fergie) wrote: > > I still believe in Jon Postel's maxim -- "Be conservative in what > you send, and liberal in what you recieve." > And one can sum up spammers' and similar miscreants' behavior as being precisely the opposite of that. -- -Barry Shein The World | [email protected] | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD | Login: Nationwide Software Tool & Die | Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo* -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
