[Leica] Spam, from this list?

[John Collier <jbcollier@shaw.ca>]

If you are getting a large amount of spam, the source is not this list. 
I have been on this list for over two years now and I get at the most 
one or two spam messages a day; often none.

I have found that the amount of spam seems to depend on my mail 
provider. @home was simply appalling with seemingly unlimited numbers of 
generous people, usually young, willing to share very intimate moments 
of their life. My present provider apparently is not much of a swinging 
place and I seldom get any intimate offers though occasionally I am 
approached to launder money.

If you are very concerned, add another email address which you ONLY use 
for this list. Then it is easy to see if this list is the problem or not.
