You could tell me any number you like, I didn't see even one of them, 
because my bayesian filters are properly trained for the kind of mail 
I get - which was my point, not that the list wasn't sending them.  I 
didn't even see the out-of-the office autoreply that someone almost 
as clueless as I am sent personally to me as a result of my post to 
the list (and I won't see any resulting from this post either:) 
except that I checked the trash for false positives.

Well, as I said, I agree that all sorts of this kind of sewage should 
be stopped as close to source as possible for a number of very good 
reasons - but wasting my personal eyeball time isn't one of those 
reasons because I don't see them anyway.
