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.
