free speech is quashed because of what? i don't get under what premise
you've had came to this conclusion. or is it a platitude? *snicker*

free speech includes a right not to listen, if not interested. or am i
missing something?

does it introduce any false positives not present in their spam

better yet, you could make these DEFER messages multiline, make them
appear as banner(6) or just teergrube them.
#endif /* FLAME */

i don't *like* this idea at all, i think that they're avoiding the real
problem and not just misdirecting their efforts, but also trying to make
a profit out of it. but so are you (except for that 'money' part), with
these 'corporate fascist' and 'quashes free speech' comments.
