    Makes you want to go back to dial up. Abrasive, arrogant tech nerds thinking they can
    upload whatever they want via your always-on connection is a huge part of the problem.

    some particularly vitriolic and relentlessly aggressive advertising has been hammering at least several popular privacy-related newsgroups (promoting nym dot com blockchain and similarly nefarious "tor-mailer" storefront/honeypots) operating as if (classified) artificial intelligence is already running their show... like a terminator that does only one thing and cannot ever be stopped

    That's exactly who I'm speaking of. By your email sig I deduce you're
    from New Zealand? If so, congrats - that's one country that seems to be
