I don't want to ban spam. I think if two consenting adults wish to carry
on a spamming relationship, that should be their choice, not mine nor the
government's. What I do want to do is NOT SERVICE spam. I elect to offer
a service to deliver NON-SPAM mail, because I believe there is more of a
market in NON-SPAM mail than there is in either SPAM mail or a mix.
