Which is the lesser of the two evils:
*       Receiving an occasional SPAM Message
*       Being Bombarded continually with complaints about SPAM Messages

                The request has been issued to stop spamming on this
address.  Why don't we return to normal IETF business at hand and just let
this issue pass. I'm sure there are others out there who is as fatigued as I
am about this moot point.

                Have a nice day

                                (I spoke sloppily, by the way.  For "today",
read "with separate filters
                                on every list".)

                                If that's so, then subscriber filters won't
work; as soon as it becomes
                                profitable to do so, the spamware vendors
will include automated
                                subscription features.
