Perhaps the folks opposed to SPEWS should consider this. SPEWS would not affect you at all if people didn't use it. SPEWS on its own doesn't do anything. No anti-spam list does. In order for it to impact you, people have to be using it. People do - knowingly - use these lists to stop spam.

You call them "thugs". All they do is provide a service _that_people_apparently_want. In and of themselves, they can do nothing. If they changed the way they work, the people that do use them would stop using them, and some other "thug" service would take their place.

Spam sucks, and it's only going to get worse, as the spam load increases to over 1600 messages per day per recipient (according to experts.)
