[members-discuss] [SPAM] Technical Solution to resolve the global "Email Spam" problem

Elad,

Please stop this. It is very clear here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/membership-mailing-lists what this mailing lists purpose is:

"Purpose

To enable RIPE NCC members to discuss membership-related issues that affect them and to facilitate members' input into RIPE NCC General Meetings and related matters."

Your posts are not membership related issues in reference to RIPE itself. You are seem to believe that if its a technical issue related to the whole of the Internet, this is the place to discuss it.

This is the 2nd subject line from you in two days I have had to tell my email client to delete now if it comes from this mailing list and contains your subject line, because to me, at this point, you are spamming this mailing list.

IF you want your technical ideas to be heard and discussed, how about you go over to https://www.rfc-editor.org/ and learn what you need to do to draft an Internet RFC on the subjects, which is the only place you are going to get a) a global audience, and b) find out that your "easy" solutions even if they make it through the RFC process likely will never be fully implemented by enough people to have an impact anytime within the next 10 to 15 years.

Thank you.

-Nevin

You are thinking that email clients always have a UI or at least some bigger code behind it that is able to do a lot of stuff. There exist email clients in the world that have only <100 lines of code and are only text based (as email is from the ground up).
