That is probably the answer to my earlier observation about there being miraculously little spam on this reflector, under the circumstances. Still, the fact remains that advertising messages below the SpamAssassin threshold do get through, which would not happen if posts were only accepted from members using their subscribed e-mail addresses. I will now hush and crawl back into my cave until the next time someone says "isn't there something that can be done about the spam." John D.
