&gt; Writing as list owner:
&gt; 
&gt;   This came up before, as well as the concern with spammers skimming the
&gt; pages for email addresses.  To this end all email addresses on the web
&gt; pages in the message headers, bodies and signatures, will be munged. 
&gt; Currently I munge them simply: translating the at-sign ("@") to a hash
&gt; ("#").  I can easily go further and translate periods to commas, or even
&gt; the at-sign to the string " at ", or use random selection from a number of
&gt; patterns.
&gt; 
&gt;   The form of the munging is (will be) clearly stated on the web pages.
&gt; 

That is probably sufficient.  I personally just delete the spam.  Then I
have no limit on HD space and don't have to download it all over a modem,
and I can quite easily see why people would dislike it.  :)

&gt; &gt;Of course, we're all "elitist" according to some people on usenet anyway
&gt; &gt;:)
&gt; 
&gt; Truth to tell; by simple definition this is an implicitly elitist society. 
&gt; I'm also damned proud of that fact.
&gt; 

I know, and expressly agree.

&gt; There are problems with keeping the list compleatly closed, the most
&gt; significant of which are that without more active recruitment of new
&gt; members (I think three of us are reponsible for almost the entire current
&gt; membership (getting close to 100)) and the resulting import of new topics
&gt; the list will eventually die either thru endless topical incest (we all
&gt; know what each other is doing, and have hashed over the same weary old
&gt; coals too many times to be interested) or simple lack of relevance.
&gt; 

Ok, I'll stand corrected.  "Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
things to wonderful for me to know" (Job 42:3)  :)
