Hooray for the Internet League of Nations! The feebleminded fools who agonize over Lycos' attempt to allow us to defend ourselves against sleazebags with no ethics have ensured another victory for the bad guys. The law is toothless and ineffective (anyone ever tried to stop junk faxes, illegal since 1999?). The ethicists are weak and cringing. Let's ignore them, and rid the world of spammers. Yes, two wrongs do make a right, if no-one is willing to use right.
