Oh, and pay close attention to the return addresses. This list puts the originator and not the list in the *To* field. I noticed that. I don't understand why we even have to use such an outdated method of communication of this kind of info. There is no excuse for not using a usenet group for this sort of thing
Usenet groups are all too vulnerable to spam, in two ways. First, the spammers (especially the XXX-Hot-Pics ones) flood the groups with their messages, and since they keep changing their return addresses they aren't easy to filter out. Second, the spammers have an easy time harvesting email addresses from all the posters to the groups. It's too bad that these parasites have ruined what used to be a marvelous thing.
