The whole article is over at Yahoo. So, I guess now, not only are we subjected to the spam, but we can't block it either?"

    Bingo. Your "right" to send e-mail ends at my MX. I'm under no obligation to accept incoming e-mail at all.

    Spam isn't a "free speech" issue. It's a "theft of resources" issue according to CompuServe vs. Cyber Promotions, wherein the judge decided that spamming was indeed "actionable trespass of chattel."
