I should note that the use of "you" in my last message refers to "you
listmasters", not "you Josip", since I was answering a message in
which you said "will discuss with my fellow listmasters".
I apologize for the improper use of "you" and the irritation that it
may have caused you.
The point I was trying to make is that you (listmasters) would have your
priorities slightly reversed if you cared much more about a GPG-signed
message in a moderated mailing list for being off-topic than about the
hundreds of spam messages in the non-moderated ones. Both things are
list abuse.
