Michael, I'm sorry to diverge a little here but I was wondering if you would be able to email me these references to porn on the mailing list that has been mentioned a couple of times now. As a mailing list admin I see my fair share of spam from the list but the whole idea of the mailing list admin team (of which I am only one of several) is to prevent this type of thing getting through to the list. Other than the messages we cull from the list I am not aware of anything else of dubious nature going to the list. If you can please send it off list so we don't re-spam it again I will endeavour to have it looked into and I will report back any findings made to you and the list.
