Yes... though my spam fighting tactics inspire fear in the hearts of
all who spam :)  I dropped this list a while back because of the spam
that was getting through on it.  My mailbox got a little more quiet for
a while; periodically, I had a spammer's access dropped here and there,
but now that I'm back on the list, I have another load of spam to deal
with...

Something needs to be done about it...
