Maybe I'm missing something but I see a real irony here: Simultaneously 
we have a thread about how to stop spam and a thread about how to deploy 
it ...  I know, you may not consider it to be spam (I have a list I send 
to as well but not nearly as large) but it just seems ironic that both 
discussions appeared simultaneously.
