No, I wasn't. I was spammed that many times, period. (Plus the few hundred
that made it past my spam filters.)

It doesn't matter whether it was from this list or not. If everyone thinks
"well, there's not much spam from this list, so a few more is okkay", then
we're back in the same boat.

Spam is *NEVER* okkay. Period. It is unacceptable, no matter who sends it,
no matter in what forum, no matter for what purpose. Spammers are vile.
Spamming should be considered as antisocial as any other form of theft.

Yes. That's why I didn't waste more time on deleting spam.

That doesn't matter. No spam is acceptable, period.
