Now wait a moment ... I agree that spammers have the right
to free speech in public places, but you have to remember
that my mailbox is private space, not public space.
If I were to walk into the EFF offices and put on loud music,
I'm sure they'd also ask me to take the music elsewhere so
they could do some work ;)
