And now I just received this same spam... Indeed it did come through wlug. We could prevent this sort of thing by only allowing subscribers of the list to post to the list. How does everyone feel about that?
I think it is perfectly reasonable to limit posting to the list to list members only. I would prefer not to have to do that, but I really don't want the spam. Hypothetically speaking, what stops folks like this from subscribing, posting their garbage, and then unsubscribing? Are the spam generating robots that smart? I knew this would happen eventually. Perhaps we should consider ourselves lucky that it hasn't been more prevalent. Hopefully, Chuck and others can track this down and get it stopped (at least at this one source).
