What unnecessary grief? Take a look through the debian-user archive for March 2006. Count how many spam messages actually hit the list. Then compare that to how many messages were spent responding to (and even translating) the occasional spam, arguing whether fruit is on topic, redundantly discussing about petsupermarket, misdirected unsubscribe emails, and incessent whining about the openness of the lists. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
