Hello,

Although this isn't about 3D stuff, it's related to the list, so I'll 
comment on it.

I'm not sure if you're subscribed to other lists, but some of the ones 
that I'm on are minimally moderated.  The "unsub me" messages and the 
spams that get through to those lists are quite annoying.  I know, I 
know...It isn't that hard to press the "d" button, but it's just not 
aesthetically pleasing.

Of late, I feel that there've been an increasing amount of "unsub me" 
messages being caught by the filter, for reasons unknown to me.  The 
filter also catches any spammers that may attempt to post to the list.  
IMO, the filters are give us a much better, well-groomed list.

I guess my point for making this a public response is that I'm wondering 
if anyone doesn't like the forwarding of snagged messages?  I'm not sure 
why anyone would prefer unrelated posts to having messages forwarded, but 
who knows?
