I mean the link that searches for public lists called TEST-L. Years ago I tried to do something about all these TEST-L lists of global interest, but without much success. Perhaps people who see their own organization name in the list will do something about it, perhaps they won't care. >The other thing I wondered if you had theough about is that the topic >search gives a demographic spammer a chance to find lists that pertain >to his/her client's product or service. Then it's no longer a spam but an unwanted ad. Besides, this is already available via LIST GLOBAL and other mechanisms. Anyway, I don't really see spammers restricting themselves to 11 dog lists when there are 7,327 other lists whose owners might have a dog :-) Eric
