Message-ID: <005d01c24538$fb7aa840$e62d1c41@kc.rr.com> From: mattmurphy at kc.rr.com (Matthew Murphy) Subject: (no subject) Over these last few days we have (obviously) faced numerous maladies such as mass junk mail, attacks against mailservers, ... but we are still here. However, I see no need at all to bashing each other over our responses to the incident. Fighting between ourselves and posting this crap on the list both amplifies the effect of the idiots' posts, and lets them know that their effort is working -- that has got to stop. I will be the first one to say that I applaud how Len has handled all of this -- the list must not be moderated. Moderating the list would be giving a victory to some of the lowest scum of all time. Rather than seek alternatives, we have to be firm about the reason this list was created in the first place -- freedom of information. This list was created to inform, and inform quickly. By advocating moderation, you are essentially advocating destroying the list. These last few days have been a test of how strongly we believed in the idea that all information should be delivered in a timely fashion. Someone who truly believes in the concept of full disclosure will stand up for it even as the very concept itself is attacked. Advocating moderation of the list, or bringing your personal struggles to the list as it faces this attack shows that your belief in the concept of full disclosure is incredibly weak. We must direct our anger towards these losers at these losers. Anything else is an attack against our own values. While they claim to be hackers, their method of attack shows them to be nothing more than spoiled children. You can either fight them or give up, there's not an inch of middle ground. Are you up for it?
