[TowerTalk] Yahoo and Spam! Was: New Ham Automation reflector

[Alan NV8A (ex. AB2OS)]

I get very little Spam addressed to the email addresses I use for Yahoo 
groups (but they are not Yahoo email addresses). By far the majority of 
Spam I get comes to an email address I was silly enough to use on Usenet 
for a while.

Both on Yahoo groups and on the various email lists to which I subscribe 
I probably get more tedious messages griping about allegedly off-topic 
posts than actual Spam! ;-)
