yahoos!!
Enough of the politeness already. The folks who use systems like
this are either overly focused on first person singular or ignorant.
I'll use one of my favorite phrases from modern parlance........Bloody
Yahoos!......I've got a quick and easy answer to this type of spam
generation....F em! Ignore the twits!!!
Wishing that folks would sometimes unplug just long enough to consider
others

yahoos!!
I would like to speak in defence of Spamarrest. It's a good program
but you have to know how to set it up. First of all there's an option
to authorize all mail coming from a mailing list. You just enter
lsv.ceramics.org and all that mail will come through fine. You can
also disable the challenge feature (which is what we all received)
altogether. I did this in mine after hearing from a few offended
people. Although I must say that even more people replied to say what
a good idea, how do you do that?
I don't think jharris should be flamed for not knowing these things
before activating Spamarrest. But I think Spamarrest should be more
forceful about telling new users they better clear any mailing lists
they belong to before they activate it.
