It's spam, in that it's unwanted, bulk email. No, I'm not stupid -- I
understand WHY it came. Still-- sparklist.com *makes money* off those
mailing lists, and should therefore put some effort into maintaining them.
One listserv was able to detect the fraudulent subscriptions -- why not them?
Yes, CDR operators would be responsible if they knew about the abuse and did
nothing about it. (Not on a felony level, though...)
I'm pissed because I alerted them of this at around 1:00 PM. They promised
they'd block everything immediately and fire off a notice/apology to the list
-- they lied.
