Just a brief appeal to any of you out there who might be thinking of
setting up a mailing list with the help of EGROUPS.COM. Please don't.
In fact if you are adverse to spam, you may just want to do what I
have just done here, and blacklist the entire egroups.com domain,
either at your router or in your mail server control files, so as
to avoid being placed on various EGROUPS.COM spam lists without your
consent. (See example below.)
Seriously, this is SOOOOOOOOO lame. These people are pretending to
be professional list administrators, and not only are they spamming
but they apparently can't be bothered with little things like, oh,
CONFIRMING list subscriptions before they finalize them.
Well, gotta run now. I'm off to www.egroups.com. I gotta sign up
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to a few dozen of their stupid non-confirming
lists. Oh yea! And I musn't forget <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>!
