I have been doing #email for just under 40 years now. FidoNet, UUCP ( lsuc!nrcaer!fts1!Latour!MCR ), ocunix.on.ca, and sandelman.*ca since. I wish the #crtc would take the do not call list seriously, and I wish the #rcmp would spend some real effort on the fraudsters. I think it is much like the Broken Window Theory: "People in the community help with crime prevention. Newman proposed that people care for and protect spaces that they feel invested in, arguing that an area is eventually safer if the people feel a sense of ownership and responsibility towards the area. Broken windows and vandalism are still prevalent because communities simply do not care about the damage.". I would take a job investigating/repairing broken internet windows.
