I've been getting spam almost since I signed up

Annoying that an anti spam group could not have avoided this problem.

I assumed the email address was scraped from the archives

Of course, no sooner do I send the message, than I receive actual
spam to my
actual asrg address. Looks like it came through a cable modem account in
Israel. Selected headers follow.

So, was this a more intelligent instance of web-scraping, or is our dear
spammer obtaining addresses via direct subscription to the list?
