I've noticed since I started participating a bit on FreeBSD mailinglist I seem to be getting a lot more spam. Looking though the archive I see that no attempt is make to disguise participants email addresses. So really, sending emails to this list is an guaranty of steadily increasing amounts of spam, all the way up to hotmail and aol proportions. And really, while email addresses are undisguised in the archive, I'd have to be crazy to keep posting to the list, wouldn't I? Bill. -- W.
