It's about time...: We've been waiting for an organization like this for some time. Sure, there are a few out there, but I've never been able to figure out their purpose other than to collect membership dues and sit around talking about the problem. This organization is compiling a centralized database for all members, ISPs etc to access and hopefully filter mail on. This is exactly what we've been looking for, not only to benefit FROM, but to contribute TO!
