Stephen Bain wrote: I really don't think he "put himself in that situation", any more than the ISP of the person sending the bomb threat did. He's simply offering pass-through service, the same as the many intermediate steps this message will travel through before it reaches you. If I were posting a bomb threat, that would be my fault, not the operators of this mailing list, my ISP, the backbone providers, and so on. It would be impossible for a human to monitor and approve such a volume of traffic even if they wished to.
