Maybe not to some, but, it's certainly not something that we want coming as a result of emails to the ML. > I never correlated the posting to this list and the spam replies.

It's easy for me to tell because the email address that I use for posting to this mailing list is unique to this mailing list. So if I get spam sent to this address, I know it came as a result of association with this list. It may be that it came through mailing list harvesting, but when a piece of spam comes almost immediately after I post to the ML, it's pretty much certain there is a bot on the ML. > Even one who does manage to correlate the two should not assume that > the Fossil organization is the one sending such messages out. They shouldn't, but you assume that all people have the same understanding of ``how things work'' and I assure, this is not the case.
