[e2e] latest spate of cruft postings to e2e

[David P. Reed]

I find it truly interesting that I never see the "spam" that gets sent to 
e2e, because it is effectively filtered by my POPFile filters, and also 
that in the scheme of things, e2e spam is a miniscule fraction of the total 
spam I must deal with each day (the past 7 days I have had over 1,000 
emails PER DAY, almost 85% of which were emails that I found objectionable 
as spam).

Perhaps we are seeing a few people angry that the general level and 
aggressiveness of spammers is rising, but it seems to me that blaming e2e's 
maintainer is a case of looking for your keys under the lamppost.   The 
"spam" problem is quite independent of e2e, and those of us who choose to 
be open to contact from people we do not vet in advance are going to have 
to deal with it.   Blaming e2e may make a good lightning rod for your 
general powerlessness, but I'd suggest thinking more clearly about the cause.

I don't want the police in my town to put up gates at the entrance to the 
town and stop all strangers.   That puts the burden on me to deal with the 
occasional 7th day adventist, etc.
