I didn't realise that the voting something as spam was for me only :-) However - if you read on the google.com interface *do* take a moment to mark spam you see. It will help reduce it over the short term too. I like the idea of someone deleting spam posts and I'm also ok with the list only being open to subscribers (for posting) I'm not sure that would reduce the participation significantly and it would likely dent the spam. Thoughts? Alan
