E-mail harvesting bots cannot harvest from a list (although I do belong to a long-standing microsopy list which is frequently spammed ... but the spam goes to the list address, not directly to the subscribers). As part of the Prodig team, we are concerned about the archive, which is a harvest-able resource on the internet. It is relatively new, but as soon as Google finds it (and therefore everyone else), it will be scanned for viable e-mail addresses. > On a spam note.

I dare say you've been so far lucky ... but the Prodig team does not want to be responsible for you getting any at all. As many of you know, our team of listmums has been rather busy trying to make you all aware (... and I have yet to take my turn after the new directive). As hard as we've been working (monitoring yet another thread on the subject, and questionably on-topic), I imagine (although it's not my call) it will come to an "awareness" letter when you first subscribe. We want to be responsible ... but that responsibility has to end somewhere with expectations our subscribers are internet savvy. my C$0.02 & cheerios ... shAf :o) Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland www.micro-investigations.com (in progress) =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
