Actually, I was planning to work on the spam problem this weekend.
(Don't for a moment think I'm not annoyed by it.)  It *will* be
resolved, hopefully to everyone's satisfaction.  But if several spams
are enough to detract you from a "useful" resource and resort to
name-calling targeted at the very person who created it, I cannot
honestly feel dismayed by your choice.

This is a factually incorrect statement.

Don't forget that you can always post to the mailing list *without*
being subscribed.  :-)  Who knows, maybe one day you'll reap the
benefits of what you are badmouthing right now.


I respectfully ask the other participants to extend their patience for
some more days.  I apologize for not having provided a better solution
already.  Despite the insults, I do not deny my part of the blame --
it is just your method (of dealing with spam) I disagree with.
