You say that with a little too much chutzpah. I think you may be jumping the gun a bit. As long as your Bill of Rights includes provisions that allows the privacy of innocent netizens to be invaded there *will* be no Bill of Rights, IMHO.
I'm betting on Paul :).
If you will carefully examine the Digital Bill of Rights it garuantees the privacy and security of citizens. I quote: + The right to security and protection from forged + messages, covert message deletions and other illicit + obstructions. + + The right to protection, should we so choose, from + mail bombing, automatic mailers, large, unrequested + file or data transfers and similar harassments. *If* and only *if* the person (as in the individual) chooses to protect themselves. To do so without the knowledge or consent of the person is illegitimate. I understand some system which impliment RBL allow their clients to choose setting the defaul to OFF. That is completely reasonable. However I understand that most systems install RBL as the default. This is unethical and unacceptable in my opinion. As for whether or not this matter effects network operations I suspect anyone unfairly placed on the RBL list may argue otherwise.

No one's argued it isn't. Just the voices in your head bob-o. KOOK!

Most personal systems, yes, but why are you judging what I do on my own workstation? You crazy fascist! KOOK!

No one that subscribed to this list after reading it's charter will argue otherwise. That's why I'm only replying to you and the unfortunate soul you replied to. BOB, get a grip. You are certified, and we all know that. Now go away. KooK KoOOK! BTW, if you see the work KOOK! anywhere in this letter, it's really just a figment of your imagination. No one else saw it. Only you. KOOK! Charles
