I concur...But, if the list is closed to members only...than a "smart spammer"
( an oxymoron ?) can still bother to subscribe to the list first and than still
send out his spamm as a member of the list :-(
	- at least that keeps out the "casual spammer"

I wonder why thur/Fri was bad days for us to receive all those spams...

o well
