HAH, I don't blame them for not subscribing. This list gets so much
spam, that I for one am about to unsubscribe because of it, and join
those off-list readers.
I am surprised you would say this. In the fair time I have been
subscribed to this list I have seen AIR only 5 spam messages. None were
particularily big and none were offensive (mainly banal US recipes).
Unsubscribe if you wish but as I have said before to others, there is such
a thing as obsessive behaviour. One regular writer here, even claims that
he will kill spammers in his signature - strange, whilst they are
undoubtbly a pain, I don't see any reason to murder people:).
Personally I find overquoting and huge signatures much more irritating
but, that has been a debate in every network I have ever partaken in and I
doubt that anyone will solve it.
Oh yes and this new fashion for sending every message twice - one in plain
text and then once in HTML - gruesome!
