[Amps] crying abt spam

[Keith Dutson]

Do you guys live in a cave?  I get tons of SPAM in my office mailbox and I
am subscribed to NO lists there.

Don't kid yourself into thinking a list can prevent you from getting
spammed.  The spammers will find you, eventually.  Just deal with it!

I respectfully disagree with you about this. Most of those that participate
in this list do so without an expectation of spammers harvesting their email
addresses. Just because you participate in a list doesn't mean you should
expect irresponsible handling of your information.

It's also the senders responsibility to check the address box and

Agreed

One of the best ways to show that you appreciate the list is to contribute
to the list. There is a large gap between showing appreciation and having
tolerance for irresponsible actions. Those of us that participate hope we
can contribute something as well as learn something in the process. It is
good and right to have higher expectations.
