Ditto. I don't see anything forbidding the SI in there.

Hey David Dyer-Bennet, damn, you've been around for a long time, dude. I
see that you voted for most of the groups in that proposal. I also see that
they posted all the e-mail addresses without any protection from spammers
back then.

E-mail address harvesting, while not entirely a thing of the past, is
way overrated as a "danger' on usenet.

There's a guy or two who are trying to cyber-terrorize the process,
either because they aren't getting their way, they are too inarticulate
to do anything else, or they fear change.

It'll be interesting to see who steps up to counter this type of
blackmail/terrorist tactic.

I've seen so many tussles over charter issues in the past that I tend to
forget how few Usenet users are actually aware that they can bypass the
usual group FAQs & go straight to the definitive souce.
Don't forget to throw it in Mr Steve 'Organiser' Young's face if he
starts on his bull about ads & the SI.

I created a throwaway address a few weeks ago. It's receiveing
some spam already. The harvesting continues, releases of lists
come in waves.

Ever since I switched my public e-mail to Yahoo (based on your suggestion,
John, thanks), due to a recent mail-bombing campaign against my previous
address from one of our trolls, I haven't had any spam or virus reach my
inbox. Yahoo has excellent filters...all the crap goes to the junk mail
folder. I used to mangle my old address, now I don't even bother. No need.
No cyberterrorist will prevent me from voting as I choose on any of the
groups, and I hope nobody is actually intimidated by the stupid threats
from these cowards.
