I think splitting the message would be OK, but then the question is who
is responsible for reassembling it? If there were a "reassembly
server" which took such messages, assembled them, and forwarded them,
then we would be right back where we started from. If the end user is
responsible for reassembly, then that is tantamount to voluntarily
agreeing to receive anonymous messages, and that is no problem. The
complaints we get are virtually 100% from people who didn't want to
receive such messages, or see them posted. And of course anonymous news
postings via shadows would also have the reassembly problem.
