While I don't feel such animosity is warranted, I've heard it before,
and understand where it's coming from.  Unwillingness to accept the
severity of the spam problem, and the fact that the Internet isn't the
place it used to be.  Like those who refuse to lock their front doors
despite the changing climate of their neighborhood, because they never
have before, and don't want to hear what the neighbors are saying.

Unfortunately, boycotting TMDA users will do nothing to help the
problem.  You aren't teaching anyone a lesson with such behavior.

Would it make you feel better if I uninstalled TMDA and went back to
an unsavory e-mail experience?  How about putting your energy into
something productive such as working on a real solution to the problem
instead of hurting those who have found some temporary relief?

I never said TMDA was a solution to spam, it's morphine for the cancer
patient.  It alleviates some of my suffering, while I keep my eye on
the prize, which is a real "cure".

Who is going to respect a "public blacklist" filled with the names of
those whom Scott has philosophical differences with.  Please.
