Boys boys boys!!! John was only expressing his dislike for such spams... I'm sure he appreciates the efforts of the admins as much as the rest of us do... he didn't exactly go overboard, nor abuse anyone... basically asking if there was anything being done to solve the problem, with a hint of disgust at the content...
He now has his answer that yes, things are being done and are 99% successful - no need to bite back. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Shaun Oliver Sent: Thursday, 25 September 2003 11:48 PM To: John Clarke Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SLUG] Yuk at the risk of being helpful, John Clarke delivered up the following on Fri, Sep 26, 2003 at 12:16:08PM +1000, > On Fri, Sep 26, 2003 at 11:10:00AM +1000, Richard Ames wrote: > > > They should be filtered before the listserver. > > We had this discussion a couple of weeks ago. > > All of you, stop whinging about the tiny bit of spam that makes it > through the list filters.
