[extropy-chat] The end of Exilist in sight?

Recently the TCS described antispam legislation (CANSPAM, due to be signed
by the president soon) which would impose a 1000 $ fine for every
unsolicited email received.

Does it imply that just a few disgruntled Exi list users could destroy
financially the ExI, if they were able to prove that posts forwarded by ExI
were received against their wishes? Does the ExI have a sufficiently
reliable procedure to establish and terminate a relationship with a member
to prevent such legal attacks?

Things like CANSPAM could really make you wonder... "What do they really
want to achieve with this legislation?".
