I had this 'fixed' about two weeks ago and then you Newbies opened the sluice gate. Can't fix *your* email? At least please don't re-swan it for those of us that can.

Hey, let's be nice to the newbies. Otherwise, they're just going to go away rather than learning, and learning and sharing is the point of this list.

Quite so. That's a lot of emails for one simple click on the delete button (or whatever keyboard shortcut you guys use on mainframes with punchcards ;-)
I'm sure the moderator of this list has been made aware of this spam so let's try to keeps this list's well earned reputation as one of the friendliest & helpful on teh Interwebs. (just my opinion. Please don't shout at me).
Cheers,
Phil...

And calling people Newbies just because they do something you don't like is probably not the best idea. Some of us have probably been using Linux longer than you have and may have been using computers since before you were born. (Hint: I still remember using CP/M, and my first PC used DOS 3.3.)

Don't make me get out my slide rule...

I was using one in high school, back before there were desktop computers, and the first computer I programmed used punched cards. Do you really want to continue this DSW?

Careful, kid. I got my _first_ slide rule in 1951 -- a Pickett and Eckel log-log decitrig model.

Who are you calling a "newbie?" I quoted it back to make sure it was clear what I was referring to.

In general, quoting or not, it's best to just leave mailing list spam alone, or send an off-list message to the list moderator. Replying just compounds the problem.
But, either way, let's keep to a friendly welcoming tone for new users and old.

Yes, there was one innocuous item of spam which I filtered and more than a dozen comments. I find the comments more annoying ...

It's harmful and people keep doing it, in those circumstances a message to the list asking people not to do it seems justified. More so than an email complaining about the number of emails on any given subject, which is usually a self-defeating action.

Please note that there have been no messages to the list during this discussion from the person in question, not even messages denying responsibility for the spam. Has anybody emailed him off-list, and if so have you gotten a response?

I see a lot of this coming from Yahoo addresses. Gary, it might be a good idea to change your password and/or kill your Yahoo account.
