Yeah. Several NSP's are working on that. Google ain't all that bright.
From your other posts, it appears that you know what you're doing and
I figured you'd want to know.

Nope. If it were a whine, it wouldn't have been here. I'd have simply
forwarded his post, with headers, to his provider. Seems to me it was
better to let him know now once, that his post wasn't on charter than
to just get him in trouble without explaining why.
MOST NSP's act on valid charter complaints. This isn't alt.* It's not
anything goes. It's chartered for a reason. It's ok if you don't
like the reason, but the charter is still there and enforceable. If
you wanted the charter to be different, you should have spoken up back
when it was being crafted and discussed. You should have been part of
the creation process.
If you want, you can propose changes to the charter to allow such
posts. I can give you info on how to create such a proposal if you
don't already know how. Just remember that once you let the flood
start, you'll never stop it.

Based on that argument, people speed. They've done it before and
they'll do it again so there's no sense having laws to stop it and no
sense writing tickets to enforce the laws.
I happen to believe otherwise. Feel free to get in a last word on the
issue if you want, but I've got the charter on MY side. Your "well
others did it so others can too" won't help if they lose an account
over it.
