"Bogosity at maximum captain!"  Using mail lists do *NOT* expose you to
SPAM;  that isn't how SPAMers work.  There have been numerous studies
about this - if you want spam (a) communicate with people who use
Outlook [and have infected machines] or (b) sign up for corporate
promotional e-mails.  That is where SPAM harvesters are.  Go to bing an
search "awilliam whitemice org" and e-mail address I've been using on
many lists for ~15 years.  Oh my!  And I included it in this message
body!  And am I inundated with SPAM?  No.  But I am easy to find.

Not to mention this sentiment destroys the *POINT* of e-mail and other
mediums - communication!  Your notions about SPAM do nothing but
diminish the value of communications and make your own life more
tedious.

+1

And GNOME isn't KDE, if you don't like KDE complain about it on KDE
lists.
