I do pretty much the same thing, but haven't worked up a correlation between
the list and extra spam. I did see a slight flurry of spam when the list was
last moved, and when it previously was reworked. Nevertheless, my level of
spam on this address is pretty reasonable. On my other address, which is "out
there" on the usenet, I get approximately 100 pieces of spam a day.

that would attract spam, such as Usenet, yet I seem to get a little flurry
of extra spam every so often, corresponding to shortly after I post
something here. I'm convinced there's some relationship. Quite how to
reconcile that with the fact that other people who post here never seem to
have a problem, I don't know. I've learned to live with it.

Well, about the only thing I've found that
seems to deter spammers is
being aggressive with them. Phone calls and faxes to companies they do
business with and work for seem to work wonders.
Well, it looks like the relationship between subscribing to this list
and the wave of spam was simply coincidental. I do use agressive means
to discourage repeat performances, but I'll admit the latest wave of
character-based asian crap has me stumped.
