[Push] (spam)

Mon Oct 18 11:09:47 EDT 2004

I believe I could restrict posting to subscribers, which would probably  
help, but I'm always reluctant to do this because it tends to make life  
difficult for legitimate posters with changing/alternate addresses. I  
figure there's a constant flow of spam anyway... However I'll consider  
restricting posting if I get strong support for the idea. If you want  
to comment on this please respond TO ME DIRECTLY (not to the list), as  
this may be seen by some as another form of spam :-)
