People are conditioned by society to feel that they need to be "normal" (read: exactly the same as everyone else) to such an extent that they're embarassed to reveal anything about themselves that shows how far from this false ideal they are.
Complaints to an ISP from SPEWS don't say they're from SPEWS (presumably because they don't want to compromise their spamtraps), but they do send complaints and it's only if these are ignored that the listing is expanded.
And if you don't confirm your subscriptions as suggested above you make it easy to get your site taken off the net.
If someone were to subscribe several of the more rabid anti-spam advocates to your newsletter and you started mailing them, you can assume that the complaints your ISP will get about you would most likely lead to your contract with them being terminated.
Do some research. I'd recommend you have a look at a site like Erowid.
Pharmaceutically pure (ie not cut with crap) Heroin actually does very little damage to the body and is nowhere near as addictive as Nicotine.
Most of the problems associated with Heroin use are due to it's illegality pushing up the price by a ridiculous amount and dealers cutting it with nasty stuff.
So if this game is so bad that it caused these kids to go out and commit this crime (no, I don't actually think there's a causal link) , then WHY WERE THE PARENTS LETTING THEIR KIDS PLAY IT!
Spews won't list a whole ISP until they've repeatedly ignored complaints about spam. If you don't like it, complain to your ISP, they're the ones ignoring the problem and profiting from spam.
Or just move away from them and find an ISP that doesn't offer its services to spammers, if it hurts ISP's financially when they allow spam then eventually they won't do it anymore.
The internet is not a public place, it's made up of lots of private servers that you are invited onto provided you agree to play nicely, why should my ISP be forced to accept traffic and use up the bandwidth that it pays for when it's coming from an ISP that abuses the net like that?
Can you point to a case where a class B network was blocked because one person spammed once.
SPEWS FAQ states that this would only happen after repeated complaints have been ignored, so i'd be interested to see if you can back that statement up with some evidence.
Well, a fairly famous book once described the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as 'a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes' , that does sound like a reasonable description of SCO:)
Can you just clarify that one - would this only apply if you lent the car to your friend once he's already drunk, or does it also include if you lent it to him before he started drinking and you didn't know he would be?
Given all the BSD is dying statements we commonly see around here, is it somewhat appropriate this flavour happens to be named after an insect with a life span of only 24 hours?:)

And this is news now?
I assume you've read the RFC detailing standards for IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service
Actually, that part isn't incorrect.

No.
Spews will list the IP that their spamtrap received mail from.
Then they will make a complaint to the ISP.
If the ISP ignores complaints, THEN the listing is progressively expanded, but they don't start out by listing a whole block.
And if you don't confirm your subscriptions as suggested above you make it easy to get your site taken off the net.

From the article:
Why should we all suffer just because some people are to dumb to install a SPAM filter, use Mozilla or do something else useful.
Spam filters don't solve the problem of the massive amounts of bandwidth that these leeches suck up with their unwanted advertising.
<nitpick>SPAM is a trademark of the Hormel corporation, unsolicited bulk email is spam (lower case)</nitpick>
Actually, it's not quite that simple
+3 Insightful on a Slashdot post which describes Windows as perfect on several occasions?
;)
Have I wandered into bizarro-world or something?
I just want to congratulate you for getting +1 informative on a post with an obvious goatse link.
:)
Well done Sir
From the comments after the linked article :-
Finally a real Next Gen command shell... And one that looks to put the others to shame.
Nice leep frog MS...
Can anyone who knows more about these things than I explain exactly how this puts the various Unix shells to shame?
Labelling allows you to make an informed decision about whether or not to take the chemical.
If you decide that you want to take the risk involved, then that should be entirely up to you, it is, after all, your own body.
(If you then go and put others at risk, eg by driving, then you should be punished for doing that, but not for the act of using the drug)

He told The Patriot Ledger: "I don't feel I was mistreated. It's my cat, my responsibility, and I did not abide by the directions I was given.''
Oh, wouldn't it be nice if more people thought like that.

How many times does this have to be repeated.

Well I got it, and i'd have +1 funnied it if I had any mod points, but what can you do? ..

The Genuine People Personality software is patented by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, so i'd be careful that they don't sue :)
Well that would probably be why he suggested mailing them from a hushmail account, or did you miss that part??
"I'm telling you, there's a bloke in a lawn chair up here"
Hey, everyone thinks telephone sanitizers are useless, but just look what happened when the Golgafrinchams got rid of all of theirs :)
If I had mod points i'd have modded you up, it's disappointing that none of the mods seem to have got the reference.
