Re: ADMIN: spamming

Greetings:

This makes the *sixth* (and why do I think it won't be the last?)
e-mail I've received about the 'spam fix' on the Perennials List --
nearly as bad as the original spam and all of the "remove" posts it
generated! 

Could we *please* get back to the topic, people? (I know you're
trying, Chris, and I'm not singling you out here.) TIA. If anyone
cares to respond to me about this, please do it directly -- *not* to
the whole list -- by using the address below (rather than merely
hitting the 'reply' button)!
