the assertion being made here is that your running an open recursive
server is harmful to me.  i am trying to understand an ethical and
legally defensible position with respect to strong-arming the ops
of such servers to change their behavior.  without an ethical and
legally defensible position, all we are doing is talking <bleep>.
