You folks have told me that listbot.com isn't really a spam haven and
while email to 'abuse' there always gets me a prompt apologetic reply,
these things *DO* still keep coming. And if there's some way to work an
opt-out list that isn't a PITA for the opted-outers, obviously the folks
at listbot haven't figured it out yet...
[it is always amusing to contemplate how/where spammers harvest addresses
from. this one is via [EMAIL PROTECTED] There has not been an email or
usenet posting originated from this email address for >8 years now
(indeed, for all practical purposes, there was no "web" when
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' was last an active address!)... so where did they even
*FIND* it..]
