Seconded. This is as spam-free a list as any on the Net; no need to
fool with a good thing. I've found it useful, in fact, to post from
an address other than the one I gave to the list: since I can identify
the address to which spam is sent, I know that anything sent to that
address in bulk was sent to addresses harvested from postings, and is
not legitimate list traffic. I've successfully had one bulk mailer
booted from his ISP because of that.
