Well, despite your protestation Marc... and me being on that is very
sympathetic to EFF's cause on a whole (I've been a member, though my
membership may have lapsed).  I'm not going to stop using razor, I'm not
going to raise my spamassassin score above 5.0.  And I think a lot of
people share my opinion.  So I think the thing is, you're going to have
to learn how to deal with.  EFF is going to have to work a little bit
smarter.  I think the Razor community has the edge in this debate.
Sometimes the world ain't fair, deal with it.
