Hey guys, I just noticed this recently in my latest posts to the list. But I've noticed that every time I mail the list for some advice, I get hit with spam from a camgirl site like every other message. Kinda funny actually. But also annoying!! Anyone else experience this? Maybe this is something the admins/moderators can take care of! Thanks, Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B

And, btw, this is where I mostly post using this email address, and no, I'm not sending spam to France, or southeast Asia, or....
