I don't know how this can be the list as such. 1. Anybody, whether a member or not, can read any message on the use-list and see any contributor's e-mail address loud and clear to the top of the page.
anybody who wants to send you messages about their millions squirreled away in Swiss bank-accounts from Nigerian uncles only has to look at the use-list to find you! Spam-bots may not manage it; mind-you, I'm sure any half-competent programmer can knock together something to harvest the use-list in an hour or so. so 'security' ain't in it. And, everybody knows that as soon as you jump in the river you will get wet - even dry-suits leak, a bit. 2. I have been using my current e-mail address to send to the use-list for six months, I used a previous address (on-and-off !!!!!!!) for the same purpose for about 4 years. I have never received any more SPAM addresses since I started to use this address with the RR use-list. 3. I have started changing my e-mail address about once a year, because sometime about the 9-month stage (which, if you think a minute, is the normal incubation period) all my Nigerian relatives start contacting me with tempting offers. Don't blame the RR use-list; rather, blame yourself for being so 'foolish' as to have a computer connected to the internet at all! sincerely, Richmond Mathewson ____________________________________________________________ Save the last dance for me, and don't slip in the dogs mess on the way over to take my hand. ____________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ All New Yahoo!
