This change, if not reverted to something more pleasant, is going to kill
this mailing list.
I agree with Andy (at least, I think it was he) who said that not all
opinions are equally weighted; I like to know who's speaking before I
invest time in reading their post.
Spam is a perennial problem facing the whole internet (and even RL with
fliers in your mailbox and under your windscreen wipers, yadda). It's not
Fossil's job to Kill All Spam. We all have and use spam filters. It's just
a part of life. It's one of the unspoken rules of engagement when signing
up to participate online: you will be spammed; you will be trolled; welcome
aboard.
