Why I'm Not Answering Your Email

John Gilmore is a founder of the EFF and the alt. usenet newsgroups. It's definitely fringle element (but my kind of fringe element). He has an explanation about email not getting through and blacklist usage: "Don't just let them put in an exception for mail from me (IP address 209.237.225.253 ). Get them to take off the blacklist on your incoming mail. It is usually hard -- but worth it. Who else's emails are you missing? Some of us figured out in the 1950s that blacklists were a bad idea. Some of us have that lesson still ahead of us." Toad.com is listed because it is an open-relay.
