Is someone taking care of it? It always seems a little irresponsible to me to just install filters and leave inexperienced net users to the mercy of the con men.... I would imagine that with the formidable combined expertise of the subscribers on this list, you would have to be pretty stupid to spam it. Anybody got any good tips for effective ways to deal with spammers? I am fequently frustrated by NICs that allow IP registrants to privide false (or no) e-mail address with which to report abuse.
