Re: FYI--Recent Nasty Spams



Hello,

Though the explicit messages do drive me nuts, I too am one of those
folks that posts to a variety of lists on behalf of the NDL at LC.
Though I am a member of this list I do posts through my lc internet
address. Yes I could subscribe using my lc address but I also don't want
to subscribe to 100 lists to insure that people hear about LC events and
new collections on American Memory. Also we do get occassional good
messages and inquiries from non-members and some of those non-members may
become members.

This is a very thorny issue and I would be interested to see if there are
alternatives beyond making making it impossible for non-subscribers to
post messages.
