If you want to see spam, go to SPAM-L. This is *NOT* a spam list. I would have thought that that was clear. Perhaps you will change your mind when the number of spams per day is about 5 or so. Then, perhaps, you too will "bitch" about it. Perhaps you are one of the lucky few people who do not have to deal with 5+ spams a day. I suspect you are NOT on SPAM-L and so don't understand the extent of the problem. Perhaps you would like to deal with the 37 spams I got today. Make that 38. Just 3 lists worth of spam. >Finally, I wouldn't THINK of hassling Eric about how he runs his list. >People on all my lists have also learned not to hassle me about it. I >listen.

Well, that's nice that you are willing to help, as most of us good folks are, but as a member of this list, you better be damned well sure that I *WILL* complain - to Eric or anyone else - just as I would expect my subscribers to complain. While, I too, am firm when need be, I don't take the starting attitude of my responsibilities being a hassle. I wouldn't consider myself to be a responsible list owner if my attitude was that I couldn't be bothered with making my list the best it can be. >In the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed man is king.
