Is this really necessary? I don't see any technical point in this sort of argument.

No, Richard, it is not 'really necessary'. I hope that you did not find my crude analogy offensive. But I stand behind my observation that SPAM is in the eyes of be observer and the technical level of the discussions appear in general (discounting the good discussion going on about network performance) to be dominated by either non-technical opinions or trival technical details. Of course, your are right, my analogy to common sense events like zipping up a pair of jeans or dressing your body may be over trivializing more complex issues..... I plead guilty to taking my opinion to somewhat arrogant extremes in the above statement. Sorry, it's just after watching one magazine ad on com-priv result in utterly a deluge of son-of-spam messages, I was frustrated at 'technical spam' via-a-via 'economic spam'. In the general case, it all degenerates to the same noise and my personal disgust with the low S/N ratio does not help matters. Furthermore, I made the mistake of thinking that this tread was on com-priv. If I had been more cognizant of the fact that this discussion was on nanog, I would not have posted such a harsh critique. My mistake, too quick on the elm keys, for sure.
