Re: spam

I joined the users maillist specifically to ask a question, and I'll
monitor the list for awhile. (Although I had to join via the author's WEb
page as sourceforge's form to join the list kept failing on me.) Seems to
me an obligation to join to POST, but an open READ privledge, is not
unreasonable. I was surprised to see some spam, but I assumed that some
members of the list had viruses which responded to any mailings with
spam. Even locking out non-members will not stop that kind of spam unless
the administrator removes those users, if such users can be determined.
Certainly if a signifigant portion of maillist traffic becomes commercial
spam, and the traffic is more than several a week, I'd unsbuscribe. Those
are my considerations for what they are worth.
