I'm with you. I don't really see any moral highground with either Dave
or Blinky. Any domain filtering, whether email or news service, is
going to block legitimate users. The collateral damage may be
acceptable, of course.

I am a bit spoiled by NIN's good spam control. That, coupled with my
robust set of filters, results in so little that I barely notice it
even in a group like this. I'm sure domain filtering would be more
attractive if I were blasted with spam.
