I wanted to respond with something like
<https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+a+mailing+list+help+vampire>.
But the Google AI generated response is comical:

<SNIP>
Symbolic representation:
It's not a literal list, but rather a metaphorical concept used in
fiction to depict a vampire's ability to track down potential victims
or contacts across a wide area.

Method of gathering information:
A vampire might collect information like names, addresses, and even
blood types through various means like eavesdropping, surveillance, or
even manipulation of individuals.
</SNIP>

Beware of the Help Vampires collecting blood types on the mailing
list. If you receive such a phishing email asking for your blood type,
you should delete it immediately!
