Another spam topic that might be of interest to many subscribers to abcusers:
I'm on several music-related lists that are hosted at yahoo. All but one are there because yahoo "captured" earlier sites like egroups.com and semi-merged them into their own system. Not only is this a real mess, but now it seems that yahoo is selling their subscriber lists commercially. This is probably related to the story last month of yahoo suddenly rewriting their user database and opting everyone in to spam. The story now is that even if you use their web page to change your settings to "no spam", this apparently only applies to your yahoo email address. They are reportedly still selling their mailing-list addresses, with no way to opt out of this. As a result, a lot of lists are likely to try to move off yahoo in the near future. So, since abcusers is somewhat a central list for music of various sorts, it seems likely that people here might be able to help. Can we get a list of sites where music-related lists might be happier than at yahoo? Maybe Toby would like to host a few more of them. But there could be a lot, and it would probably be useful if we could get a list of possible list-hosting sites that won't treat the subscriber lists as commercial property.
