[Asterisk-Users] Fw: Gift for Mark Spencer

> You, bloody moron.  Is not most email unsolicited.

Are you familiar with the spam problem?  Spam is unsolicited bulk e-mail.
It is problematic for any number of reasons.  A single unsolicited message
may be unwanted, and that's an issue of some sort, but the real problem is
when someone feels free to broadcast their message.  At the expense of all
the recipients.

> I never asked you to send an email,

Are you the person in charge of telling people when they can send messages
to the list?  If not, then that's irrelevant.

> Your message is off topic,

That's debatable.

> Your getting rude,

Actually, my original reply was quite innocuous.  When someone decided to
quote it and say I was saying something other than what I was actually
saying, I got a bit more explicit.  Am I not allowed to correct a misquote?

> therefor *YOU* are a spammer.

Test fails: bulk ("UBE").  I sent one message.  Therefore not spam.  By
definition.

Alternate test fails: commercial ("UCE").  I'm not selling anything.
Therefore not spam.  Also by definition.

Sorry, I'm not a spammer.  Heck, we do all sorts of anti-spam stuff here.
You can try to figure out what my .sig means...
