My comment was not intended to demean your performance as the list
administrator and I
hope that you did not take it that way. I think that you are doing a great job
providing
a wonderful service to aquarists all over the world. It was more of a comment
about the
pervasiveness (sp?) of Spam. I can almost predict when I will get spam. I
post a message
or two to a newsgroup and I KNOW that I will be getting some spam in a couple
of days.
For those of you who like to try and get back at spammers, I use a web site
called Spam
Cop (http://spamcop.net). All you need to do is post the complete headers from
the spam
into their form and their web engine will go through them, find out from where
the spam
originates, and automatically send complaint messages. The service is free and
it seems
to work well.
