I can show you that. In pior to 2000 we were a free service, cotse
provided a web interface to the remailers, an interface to the
mail2news, a cotse remailer, and free e-mail. Free accounts, open
interfaces, easy access, man did it get abused. Mid 2000 we gave up and
shut it down. In 2001 we became a subscription service and clamped
down. There has been no unhandled abuse of the net since then. Since
then all complaints have been about someone like bluejay pissing off
someone like this anon guy. That is not abuse, that's just someone
getting annoyed with someone else, very common.
