  Well.  Let's take a look at what Karsten had to say about point #2,
 "Misplaced burden":

    [...] «C-R may place the burden on third parties either inadvertently
    (via spoofed sender spam or virus mail), or deliberately (see Joe-job
    below).»  [...]

  You dismiss this as "basically opinion and rhetoric".  Yet, I see a
 unsolicited junk mail from you, yes - *you* Adam, in my mailbox.  I'd
 be very interested in hearing how that could've been a result of
 'opinion and rhetoric', so please, let me know.

  Earlier, you've stated that your time is precious.  Well, so is mine.
 How dare you assume that the time I spent reviewing *your* callenge mail
 and deciding it was junk is less precious than the time you (could have)
 spent reviewing the mail that spurred the challenge in the first place?

  I admit my first email was written in hot blood, but if TMDA actually
 endorses this selfish behaviour, I still feel it is something that do
 not belong in Debian.  On the other hand, if the junk mail in my
 inbox was a result of a misconfiguration on your part, then I'm
 sorry for yelling so loud.  Errare humanum est.
