And since I'm not at all cautious about leaving my email address around the planet, I don't understand why I don't get more, while Mark Wyatt is apparently on every porn mailer in the U.S. and Denmark. AOL being the difference. NW, who is against anything that makes my e-mail addy even more available to spammers.

The key to receiving spam, it seems, is to post to newsgroups with an unmunged e-mail address. I inadvertently did that a few weeks ago and now my spam quotient is up from once or twice a week to once or twice a day. But as I understand it, the spam-bots have also been scanning web sites for valid e-mail addresses... so I, too, don't want my e-mail address available on a web site where anyone can get ahold of it. Also, sometimes when you visit a web site they're using tools that can find your address and other information about you, and later may send you unsolicited e-mail...

It stores only a couple of days' worth of posts, or in particularly high-traffic times, one days' worth; I think the limit is on the number of messages rather than the number of days, and it seems to top out at around 500. I'm in favor of archiving the whole history of p2 somewhere, as long as access is limited somehow so that we don't all start getting endless amounts of Spam. A password might be kind of complicated to implement, but it would be great if our e-mail addresses could somehow be deleted. --Amy "If I said I don't want what I don't have/And all the answers are in love/If I said I believed in myself and that's enough/I'd be lying"--Sam Philips

Re: Query:Archive this list?
Hey there, Jamie has an idea... I have an idea that I wanna get out before it dies of loneliness... Would it be desirable to have this list and its archives "webbified" and searchable?

Howdy, CK: I would prefer not to have my e-mail address out there on a buncha web pages. Deb: I have to agree with CK on this one. I get enough mail from nuts as it is. Fortunately for Deb, Jeff Wall is shipping out to sea in April... Badum-bum. Thank you, thank you very much. Seriously though, I think part of the beauty of this list is that it isn't necessarily publicly available. I think most of us feel a little freer to express ourselves with the knowledge that whatever missives we send will find its way to a limited audience, rather than the entire internet system. Of course, there's always the possibility of publicizing the fluff channel... Take care, Shane Rhyne, working late Knoxville, TN [EMAIL PROTECTED] NP: Lone Justice, "Don't Toss Us Away"
