That's why I thought I'd ask. The typical spammer is not a list subscriber. When a list subscriber posts spam, especially a subscriber that has participated in discussions before, it can be a sign of several things: 1) Novice with bad judgment 2) Machine infected with a virus or other malware that is sending out spam to everything in their address book 3) A spam bot on some other machine that is sending spam spoofing their address -Rob
