In the last couple of days, we have been getting a lot of spam sent to the laista list. I have it set so that no non-members can post without my approval, so it's not going through, and I reject it.
Is there anything else we can do to block it?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

If one of the stompies solves this with a program that kills spammers as they type at their keyboards, please share with the class.

Just a second ago, I clicked on Bitches at this point: Susan W. "Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath" Mar 26, 2005 10:30:09 pm PST&PHPSESSID=010139ff99573e1e2538367b86897486 and got the regular stuff on the left, the posts already made in the middle and the posting box on the right.

What is even happening?
It wasn't just infatuation. I still love the in-thread subscribe/unsubscribe feature. Thanks, brilliant ones.

The status is NOT quo.
What Cindy said. I was just appreciating it myself.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
My Message Center went away. Is that a punishment for being a bad Buffista, or a side effect of the name change?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think Lee had to re-subscribe to all her threads when she became Perkins again.

Thanks, aurelia. I clicked the "subscribe" link and all is now well.
Of course, now my clicking finger is all swollen and sore. George Jetson had it easy.
