[Imc] sidneysedarka's $-making idea

[Paul Riismandel]

Tim,

It's not as simple as that.  That spam message was sent directly to the 
list by the spammer, and was not forwarded by anyone on the list.  The 
software running the e-mail list is very good at filtering out such 
spam.  Since I am one of the list admins I see the many pieces of 
unsolicited just e-mail that it catches every week.  However, the software 
is not perfect, and occasionally something slips through.  Unless we set up 
the list  so that every post has to be approved by a person before it goes 
out, this will happen occasionally.

Unfortunately, unsolicited junk e-mail is a fact of life, and I can only 
ask that people we patient with the very isolated times when something 
slips through.
