My aren't we a bit snide, and stuffy.
I don't get 500 spams a day from anywhere, maybe they like you.
I don't think most people on this list agreed with you, only four or 
five if my memory is to bad this morning.
The number of spams to this list, IMHO, do not justify the nastiness of
the ANTI-SPAM SLAMMING of the list admins.  
And yes, my server gets spammed everyso often, I just deleate it and 
notify the abuse people at where ever it came from.

Lighten up, life's too short to be nasty.
