these spams world-wide and take advantage of the sterling reputation
of the list.  How long will it be before that list's reputation
becomes less than sterling?
I think this is as it should be.  If bad actor makes it on the list in
the first place, then list isn't doing a good enough job of validating
its members as good actors.
