Bob, I see this in your digital bill of rights:

The right to protection, should we so choose, from mail bombing, automatic mailers, large, unrequested file or data transfers and similar harassments.

How does the RBL violate this? I agree with most judgments made by the RBL team. I subscribe. End of story... If someone can't send me junk mail, I still feel pretty free. If someone tries to send legitimate mail and it fails, best of luck, hotmail exists

It violates this because it is, for the most part, involuntary. Furthermore it is a violation of certain fundamental principles of freedom of association and communications besides being a kind of repulsive and rather juvenille vigilante activity in response to the rather messy liberties of a democracy. I *do* have the right to send flyers in an election to my constituents. I *do* have the right to mail announcments to my neighbours. *No-one* have the right to interfere with these lawful activities in a civil society. You are all - Vixie foremost - degrading into envelope steaming, mail trashing creeps. hardly the society I want to see for the digital age.
