    then choose the ISP which provides filtering that best meets your needs.

    Hmmm... which ISP lets the customer choose blacklists they use to block email? Heck, most of them don't even disclose the black lists used by them!

    I forget the Latin for it, but ever heard of the word, "Revenge" ? Think of a network admin or an ISP who lost business because of being wrongly blocked.

    You don't want to block e-mail from Nigeria? Fine. Don't use nigeria.blackholes.us. You don't like SPEWS listing criteria? Don't use them.

    How can you decide if others want to receive email form Nigeria or not? If you are running a private server for yourself, then fine, do whatever, nobody cares.

    Spare me the anti-US rhetoric about my country always being a bunch of bullies and the rest of the world a bunch of well-meaning space teletubbies. You don't seem to read posts too well. I never said anything about US being bullish and rest of the world "teletubbies" (whatever that means). What I said was the general mentality of most people in the US that what they do is just and right, and rest of the world is war hungry, terrorist, etc.

    The main resource that space missions use up is money. Of course this money would be much better spent on education, health and infrastructure.

    But it also uses up a lot of manpower which India has plenty. Without the space programme some of the brightest minds would leave for US anyways. Also, the Indian space programme plans to bring in money from other countries (like the European Space Agency). Already ISRO has launched quite a few satellites for other countries. India is developing its space program at a fraction of the cost US is investing in it. So India is in a position to provide such services to other countries at lower rates.
