Not only that, you also get, at no extra charge, whiners complaining about
the rare piece of spam that sneaks in.  Such a deal just for you we have!

Hmmm.  That might not be a bad idea for luni-d, Simon.  The arguments about
allowing novices ready access to the main list probably don't apply here. 
Then again, luni-d seems about as useful as a left-handed monkeywrench, so
maybe the rational thing to do would be to proclaim it to have been ruined
by spam and shut it down.  It's a tough call.

Pity you haven't felt up to sharing something more interesting than this.
