if there was a market for nerd hysteria/hyperbole, there would be no need for internet ipos.
Uh, I don't understand this comment, Randy. He was giving you a compliment -- your lucid posting showed that your net.freinds were not 100% correct, when saying that "rational discussion of anti-spam seemed socially impossible." We _can_ have a rational discussion, it just doesn't seem to happen very often. :-) Meanwhile, although I do not use ORBS for blocking, I do occaisionally use it for testing. Unfortunately, I used it for testing my site, and it discovered that the (commercial) mailing software still supports the old % hack, and now ORBS blocks the site. I dunno why that is considered "spam". Anyway, the commercial folks didn't know it was still in there, either, and it will be eradicated in the next release.
