Gilmore needs to come around to life on the Internet as it

is now, not in the halcyon days of yore when the Well was

a hotspot and spam did not pose the endemic problem it

does now.

It's pretty simple really, he could apply access lists to

his server so his friends could use it and others intent

on sending unsolicited email could not. His position on this is somewhat academic given that he violated his AUP.

Had he found it objectionable he never should have signed it.
