Well, I don't post to usenet with my email address intact, nor do I have it on my web page... and I had almost zero spam before I subscribed to this list, so if anything, one of the list's subscribers is probably an active spammer that is using the list to harvest addresses. Nonetheless, I've had about 5 or 6 spammers from here eliminated (in addition to the hundred or so others from over the last year or so from elsewhere). -- drwho @ xnet.com -- http://www.xnet.com/~drwho/ "Freedom of government is good, but freedom FROM government is better."
