Actually I went and looked at the manufacturer's " User Manual " and at the back there is a form to get a replacement jig if you do break it. It uses a hilarious mixure of boy scout honour system and legalise to ensure that the woodworker isn't breaking the EULA and has actually broken the jig. I don't know if this is an attempt to satisfy the oxymoronic (or should that just be moronic?) licencing agreement or is indicative of Mr. Stots' largesse.

Right Spammers are a pain in the ass. However to uncritically lump blackhole maintainers into similar categories is frankly ridiculous. Crucially many of these people are volunteers giving their skills and services to the community. After all the Spamhaus project issues an "advisory" and leaves it to mail admins to act as you put it "responsibly" guided by that advice. In the case of open relay lists I think it is entirely appropriate to block mail (albeit on a host by host and not network basis) as it is one of the few ways to tighten up lax relay protection.

Found this oldish article which seems to describe the same currency 'protection' in colour copiers; which I presume is implemented in firmware.

Dammit he's right Doom 4 will NEVER be as popular as VisiCalc
