I know perfectly well where the delete button is on my computer; however, spam is an internet-wide problem and there are defenses in place to handle it. I don't think it's cowardly to stand up for a community free of spam. I agree that the list-owner volunteers are to be commended. We all benefit from their efforts and I certainly appreciate their willingness to put up with us.
