The list has been in existence for some time and the amount of spam
we get is very minimal from my experience. I think it is well worth the price
to pay for posters from the archives who might make a valuable offer of
vintage equipment or insight. Reminds me of the "black hole" antispam
initiative where the solution is worse than the problem.

Yes, definitely. Do it. We can clean up for the few people who might be
receiving mail at a different address than they're subscribed at, and I would
say very few if any in that category. (Maybe they should speak up now :-)
Ummm, maybe. There have been some instances in the past where someone
not on the list has sent in e-mail offering some piece of computer stuff
before putting it to the general populace. Those offers would be
eliminated. It may be worth it, but is a point to consider.
