Maybe the "list mom/dad" doesn't care where you go. Maybe MySQL provides this list for free and doesn't care what you think. If you don't like it, get off the boat. A free list, which puts people in direct contact with the developers, is a plus to me. So what if I get a spam mail from it every now and then.
I think the "list mom/dad" does a good job, considering the figurative mom/dad is a machine. I hate to even make any comments on this because of the amount of resources used to send this one email which has been generated by one SPAM email. In my opinion, people should ignore the spam instead of sending 15 emails back to the list about it. Imagine the bandwidth that would be saved by MySQL. --------------------- Johnny Withers [EMAIL PROTECTED] p. 601.853.0211 c. 601.209.4985 -----Original Message----- From: Thibaut Allender [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 11:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Spam At 18:15 10/01/2002, you wrote: >I have to say I'm shocked that the list is completely open.
