This is just 2. Anyone else? I don't recall any Turkish spams.

Excellent.

And you think that you won't get those if the calendar is available
in some other form? By all means, let's have a calendar, if only to
reduce the number of personal queries to 6-7. All I am saying is
I am kinda sceptical about the effect (I am for it in any case).

Verification of the source of a change won't be an issue, I suppose.

And why do you think they won't? Are you saying that people cannot
unsibscribe, email the owner, don't get any answer for a long time,
and them post a single word "unsubscribe" to the list out of
desperation? It's not my impression, but if that is the case then
this is also a very valid reason.

I thought it disappeared. Is it still there? I liked it. How do I
subscribe?
