But if every post is going to result in spam, where is > people's incentive to support each other? As far as I can tell, it's not every post - it's just the ones that are CC'd to a user of spamalert. The posts I've made that weren't to John didn't generate those notices. Since I use a confirmation/whitelist system myself, I can't really object to strongly to what he's doing. I do find the work required of the sender a bit excessive. I hope John has subscribed to the list so he can read the answers I made to his postings. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
