I don't see why it is so hard for the list maintainer to only allow
subscribed users to post to the group.

Surely this sort of annoying spam is not actually subscribed to kclug?

Please sir, kindly be in contact with my son for proper briefing and understanding. He is currently 
seeking political asylum in the Netherlands. His name is Festus Makagbo and his phone number is 
+31-621-944-500 while his email address is firstux at hotmail.com <mailto:firstux at hotmail.com>

frustrating the minority farmers; hence I resolved to search for a reliable business oriented 
person who can help us invest these funds. My problem is compounded with the fact that I am 
incapacitated with President Mugabe's act of terrorism.
