    If it was so easy to fix, why the heck didn't you fix it when I complained
    about it here in (I think) June???

    Yes, I didn't send you a complaint directly, simply because I didn't have a
    working address for you. You gave me that, but didn't fix the spam. No
    public mailing list should accept messages from non-subscribers, period, and
    its hard for me to believe that any mailing list package wouldn't reasonably
    support that configuration.

    Anyway, enough venting. The amount of spam recently is better (but not zero,
    which is the only acceptable number - to my knowledge, no spam has been
    published on Ada-Comment, even though we get more than 100 pieces of spam a
    day directed to it).
