That's why some of us chose to start another list over at www.kclinux.net

I'd be more than happy to host kclug.org on one of my web servers.

Subject: I've had it

I've had it with this list.  I've read some good threads, and met some 
good people on this list, but someone really doesn't know how to 
administer a good majordomo system because every single list I've been 
subscribed to has allowed only members of the list to post to the group, 
and the amount of spam that I recieve from this list is absolutely 
ridiculous!  There is no excuse for that whatsoever.  My only guess is 
that whoever is administering the system has no idea how to close it off 
to non-members, and even so, how hard is it to either sit down and read 
the documentation, or ask someone else for help?  If there is a good 
reason, I do apologize.  Maybe I am not seeing the whole picture, but 
with all due respect, it does look like a bit of incompetance on the 
part of the administrator.

Before I joined this list, this email addy was spam-free.  Thanks to 
this list, I now not only recieve spam on behalf of KCLUG, but also 
straight to my email as well.  My email address will never be 100% spam 
free again >:(

To all those on this list who have helped me out, thank you very much 
:)  As I have said, there are many good people here.  But I just won't 
allow my email to be harvested for yet more spam in the not-so-far 
future simply because someone didn't set up majordomo properly.  I mean 
seriously.  We recieve more spam than legitimate posts!  There is 
absolutely NO excuse for this.  To whoever runs this list, I would 
advise you to do something right away.  You're losing a lot of people.  
I have already seen a couple posts from people who have decided to 
leave, and I'm sure there are many more who are silently dropping the 
list.  Take the effort to configure majordomo right this time, will 
you?  As for me, too late.  Even if it is taken care of, I can't risk 
being exposed to more spammers in the future.  It was good being on the 
list, and it was nice meeting all of you, but to whoever is 
administering majordomo, you ruined the experience for me permanently.
