I think Mr. Ezra won't accept your offer.  He works with millions of 
dollars :-)

Let's stop this useless discussion right now.  Spam filtering should be
implemented by the administrator of the list.  If anybody knows how to
reach the list administrator and knows how to setup spam filtering, please
write him or her and suggest your help.

Discussing spam in the list is useless - it only adds the amount of
useless traffic.  Replying to spam makes you look pretty dumb - spammers
don't read your replies.  Offering the spammer a job or asking him to
unsubscribe you from the list may be funny for some of us, but not for me.

Let's all read Netiquette Guidelines in RFC-1855 
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt)

And, by the way, let's stop sending HTML e-mail to the list.  HTML e-mail
can be abused, and it's abused by spammers every day.  Not all mail user
agents can read HTML e-mail safely.  It's not archived properly.  
Legitimate HTML e-mail makes it harder to filter out HTML spam.

Please, let's stop littering the list.  Want to write me - do it in 
private.  Sorry for offtopic, but somebody had to write it.
