Jay, don't take this too personally, but that
answer SUCKS! When will you
be "damn well ready"? The list asked for a solution several weeks ago. I
think it's time to finally do something.
The SPAM is not the problem. The problem is the rant that continue long
after the SPAM has gone. In this case, there was a single email SPAM
followed by forty F***ING replys bitching about all the SPAM coming from the
list.
The SPAM is not the problem... The real problem is the members that refuse
to shut the hell up!
Take your whining somewhere else!

Well said!
Lets not foolishly try to hold Jay responsible for the actions of the list
members (pun intended).

I've had the same email address since 1994. I get about 4-500 email
messages a day of which at least 10% is spam. That's what the little
key with <Del> on the top is for. I like the occasional OT message
threads, sometimes for humor, sometimes for useful info. If you don't
want to read the messages, sort by subject and delete the whole thread
before reading. But every time a spam message appears, there seem to be
30-40 messages complaining about it. I've got better things to do with
my time.
I personally want to thank Jay for hosting the list. After all, as
another member pointed out, it's his server, his bandwidth. He could
get fed up with all of the bitching and take his marbles and go home.

Thank you, Jay, for continually providing this list with the resources it
needs to function, all at no cost to the list's subscribers. I am very
grateful that this forum exists. I am confident that you are taking adequate
steps to resolve the spam issue.

New subject: Message for Eric Smith and Al Kossow
Eric & Al,
I've had a Netscrape crash, and it corrupted my mailbox. As a result I've lost
all the emails we exchanged in making arangements for the machine Eric is
comming to get.
Please email me off the list so we can coordinate this!

New subject: Bob's Netscrape crash
Bob,
What version of Netscape and what OS? Netscape has been very stable for
me. I'm using 4.77, I think. I've used others, such as 4.08, and have
never had problems with it munching my mail..... I admit it does crash
sometimes. I did use Kaufmans MailWarrior for a little while. I liked
it because of it's small size, but whenever it crashed..... it would
almost always eat my crunch my email. I'm using Win98, BTW. I have
kicked around the idea of switching to Eudora.

New subject: Bob's Netscrape crash
If he's using 6.0 or newer on a Windows machine it's a likely thing that
NutScrape croaked. I use and install the old 4 series up to the last version
on mine and other people's PCs and Macs but since 6.x came out I haven't
downloaded anything new (it's really AOL'd up)

^^^^^^
Should that be "monger"? Let's help Jay, not a large open box or trough
in a stable. And I think that most all of us would reject calling Jay a
"mangler".
What will it cost, and where whould we send contributions?
