I am just as disgusted with these messages as anyone else. As has been pointed out, they are posted to the board for Washington, then show up on the list because the board is gatewayed to it. The only thing I can do to stop it is either (1) stop all posts from the board or (2) put the offending email address on reject for the list (which I do). shirley list hostess -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
