Technet,

	Just a thought:  The bandwidth used on the technet for the
	comments *about* spam may be better directed to those who
	"opened the can".

	Since we are a large list, we are an attractive target for
	this kind of thing.

	Can I suggest that we, as a list, have the opportunity to
	"defend" ourselves?  Instead of mailing commentary to the
	technet, why don't we point out to the offender that they
	have posted inappropriately?

	Even if only a small percentage of us did this, we would
	create enough mail traffic for that person that they`d
	likely think twice before broadcasting like this again,
	in other words, a nescessary educational process.

	In general, if you (we) have a gripe about an inappropriate
	posting, send it to the author, NOT THE LIST!  Copying their
	postmaster is also a good method, as most ISPs and company
	sysops really do care about this sort of thing.

	Anyway, have a good day!
