therefore, given current technology, it is up to the receiver to state when
he/she/they no longer wish to receive traffic of type X (be it network prob=
es
well-intentioned or otherwise). And it is up to the sender to STOP sending
said traffic upon receipt of such a statement. Not to reply saying, "We've
done nothing wrong, we're just trying to improve network performance" (note
that this performance gain is obviously not going to be on the receivers'
side; at least not during the scans) and continue the inappropriate traffic.
As with many things, there is a need for common sense and common courtesy.
Neither of which are nearly as common as they should be.
