Frontier.

The response came from the recipient’s ISP. Often, I was sending to a list. Some were also Frontier, of course. Some were web mails. IIRC, the webmails are among the worst in labeling forwards as spam.

It only happened with Pipe’s newsletter and I just stopped using the fwd function. I figured it was the list of recipients plus something in the newsletter headers.

In thinking further on all this, I think Waxman and company are opening a can of worms for themselves. Won’t be the first time they over-reached and had to back pedal. This sort of threat to the Internet cuts across ideological lines.

My son works in IT, right now as a network administrator. He has often said that there are too many ways to decentralize the net for this sort of control to work for them.

But, now we know why they want broadband to be ubiquitous. It is already available out here, in my rural area, but we have just resisted due to price. So, I guess if they can get us to accept a subsidy, the string will be their control.
