[NTLUG:Discuss] Spammer harvesting addresses from this list?

[fredjame]

I guess I can appreciate that - but how does one track down the "vendor" 
without verifying one's own address for that "vendors" mailing list(s)?  
Is this just for so called legit business who unfortunately practice a 
bit of mass advertising (spam by another name still stinks), or can your 
"identification" method be used against all, or most, spammers?  The 
legit businesses don't tick me nearly as much as the seedy (deleted 
explicative).
