Re: [OT] Re: Spam because of this list
Well, I'm kind of bummed out about the whole thing now. Chris's point is
correct that there are other places where debian-kde is archived and that
getting everyone to change en masse would be difficult to do.
I don't have any faith in anti-spam legislation. There's no way laws can stop
spam. It's like pornography, religions, drugs and guns. The more you try to
regulate it, the less you'll succeed at stopping it. Spam is a problem
created by technology that can only be solved by it.
