I am sorry that Don felt that I was implying some wrongdoing on his part.
I wasn't.  The problem is that the archives are open to anyone and contain
mailing addresses that can be harvested.

If anyone wants info on what to do and who to complain to about the spam,
feel free to contact me off the list ("Reply-to" header set).
