   This is bullshit.  There is no such thing as "implicit unlimited
permission for redistribution by any means."  The notion that if some
net site forwards my message to "mirror" then I have suddenly entered
into a contractual obligation with them is frankly ludicrous.
   If "mirror" does not want to receive such postings, then it is its
responsibility to filter them out.
