Post by thread:[PICLIST] Re [ADMIN]: spam

Hi I just got a spam from "hot swap news" with sender name "eletter". I assume it's from the piclist but will depend if others get it I suppose! :o) -Roman -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.

Hi I just got a spam from "hot swap news" with sender name "eletter". I assume it's from the piclist but will depend if others get it I suppose! :o) Yeah, I got it (mostly mime and unreadable by my normal mail system.) I don't know if it's from piclist or one of the recent conferences I've attended. I don't really care - it's not frequent, it's not 10 messages a day, and it doesn't take long to delete. BUT I'M GETTING REALLY SICK AND TIRED OF THE DOZEN-PLUS PICLIST MESSAGES SAYING "I GOT IT TOO" AND COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW EVIL SPAM AND LIST MINING IS. SHEESH!!!!!! (No removal instruction in the message or on the associated websites. Oughta make it pretty illegal in a bunch of places, right?)
