Apparently not - in the 9 months since I subscribed to debian-user the spam on the list has increased from ~ none to 1 every week or two or three. I do not know whether this reflects a general increase in spam on the internet, or greater publicity of this list, or what, but what I do know is that spam should be seriously followed up, especially as the American Senate seems to be pro-spam (according to slashdot anyway) and what goes in America sooner or later goes in UK and Europe... frankie -- ,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. > Frankie | Drum'n'Bass tunes, samples and links. < > frankie at skunkpussy.dhis.org | http://www.skunkpussy.freeserve.co.uk/ < `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
