I don't think they care (except that they don't want one of their competitors in control). Government hates it, of course. It would have been easy to adopt anti-spam measures that would have made what you do impossible, but it wasn't done. > Spam pressure plus measures making the live of small mail providers > [difficult] help centralization. This is true. People also seem to like centralization, unfortunately. > This is what I call Emergent Evil.

Better "emergent evil" (I've seen the term elsewhere) than the "devil" theory but I don't think it is useful to talk about evil at all. They are just people doing what works for them (even in government, the biggest and most powerful bigcorp of all). -- John Hasler jhas...@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA
