SPAM - RFC from list admin

As for option "2", not only does it get my vote (I think that whitelist / blacklist / sending confirm messages is cumbersome and will discourage legitimate non-subscribed posts), but I re-iterate my offer to accept and screen non-sub posts, and lest anyone *actually* think that such screening would be used to 'cherry-pick' incoming offers.... that's kind of insulting, on one level; maybe a faint concern, but the other opportunity is to accept the spam, delete it, and ask that the obligatory "noise" that each and every occurance generates be suppresses voluntarily. /rant_on/ Yeah, folks - that was a Spam Post. We all read it. We know you read it. Delete it, complain to the proper organization, launch Cyber-Armageddon on the offending miscreants... but the big{er} problem with the small amount of spam we get is, IMHO, that various listmembers feel compelled to pitch a public fit *each and every time*... thus needlessly compounding the problem. /rant_off/ Again, I volunteer to accept non-sub traffic and pass on the UnSpam parts of it, sending the residue to /dev/nul where it belongs. Just my $.02 John Back in Sunny Arizona; looking for a five to ten bedroom house on 40 acres with one or two barns and/or outbuildings. Yeah it means I'll have to sleep in the yard in a tent, but I'd have plenty of room for my Stuff. For the first couple of months, at least....
