... I do take offense that I'm immediatly called a coward because I use a remailer. You take offense at the apparent truth? Your reasons given so far for posting anonymously don't hold any water. You can easily avoid spam while still providing your real identity, and while posting from a non-anonymous source. It's not like the spammers are checking Usenet posts for your name, and then cross-referencing that with a list of people's email addresses. If they have the email address, they're using it. They don't need to bother with the cross-reference step, and you don't need to provide a real (or at least, easily extracted) email address with your Usenet posts. Furthermore, posting from a source that makes your posts indistinguishable from any other random person using the same source is just silly. When we kill-file you, you'll have screwed the pooch for all the other people using the same anonymizer. Anonymizers are dumb, and people who post using them have absolutely no credibility. They certainly ARE the refuge of cowards. If you take offense at that interpretation, then you need to rethink your cowardly actions rather than asking people to not call you a coward. Pete |
