Re: [ga] BULK whois


Mr. Neuman,

1) Clearly Mr. Williams represents many in our community and if you took the
time to notice you would even read dissenting voices on this list.  I have met
several in foreign lands that acknowledge his pre-eminence in this field.
Personal attacks are silly and unwarranted. The lack of a whois for his group
only shows a proprietary correctness for their right of privacy.
2} What you have to say here is bullshit.  Common sense, Common Law, Civil Law
will tell you that a contract may not violate law.  Opt-out and getting off a
spaming list is by law allowed.
DoC will back you up or find themselves fired.
There are two dotBiZ's and you should find a way to get along to fight any of
this nonsense you encounter.
Good luck,
Eric Hugh Dierker
