A. swbell has frequent problems with their mail-servers, both inbound
(POP) and outbound (SMTP). I don't know (or care) what OS they run.
B. When I got my DSL line, swbell was the *only* ISP possibile in
houston.
C. Even though it's now possible to get other ISPs, it would roughly
double my current ISP bill.
D. DUL is discrimination, pure and simple. If Debian chooses to add a
warning header based on it (so that those who choose to can filter),
that's fine. If Debian starts to reject list mail based on DUL, I'd
strongly consider leaving the project.
Joseph's arguments, while occasionally strident, are not foolish. I
find it interesting that his opponents devolve into name calling and
obscenity.
