Re: Multiple abuses from i2pn2.

  In this thread (and similar earlier ones), the word/term "abuse" is
often used in a context when it's mostly about undesired/unwanted posts
- a "nuisance" as Olivier mentioned - i.e. posts which some people do
not like for whatewver reason. So not abuse *of* the net (note "of", not
"off") - abuse which hinders proper operation of the net itself (like
(real) flooding) -, but abuse *on* the net - posts which are a
"nuisance", but do not hinder proper operation of the net itself.
 
  Also in the above example, Xposting to fr.soc.politique and frequent
off topic posting are likely to be abuse *on* the net, not abuse *of*
the net.

You right about this distinction.

I would argue that the systematic use of xposts is an abuse *of* the
network but I won't, this thread is long enough :)

  Anyway, as I said before, little can be done for both these cases,
other than client-side filtering (by software or just ignoring) and
restraint (not responding to such posts).

From a technical standpoint, I totally agree.
