Well, as much as I hate to admit that I agree with Jared on ANYTHING
(grin!) he was 100% correct with his post.
Censorship is how totalitarian regimes remain in power. This is why
Microsoft ALWAYS includes a gag order in their shrink-wrap licenses and
in all of their out-of-court settlements.
If you think back over the last few weeks, we have only seen an average
of 2 or 3 spams per week - although each spam seems to generate 20
replies to the list from members. In effect, we are our own worst spammers!
Perhaps our noble list moderator will appoint someone to be responsible
for following up on Emails sent to the list that the membership
considers to be spam and instruct them to remove the list address from
their master-spam database.
I would be happy to volunteer for this duty - at least until such time
as I find gainful employment!
