P3D spam, onelist etc.

["Sergio Baldissara" <winter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't notice any increase in spam after I subscribed to P3D. I don't
believe spammers select just USA web addresses.  Usenet and eBay are most
probable sources of risk.

they are a commercial service (each message you get from the list has a
banner attached). Big list, big profit!

they would go against their own interests... anyway I noticed that most of
the onelist's facilities (data base, list's links, list's own chat room,
polls, calendars, even the 20MB of shared files...) are poorly known or used
by most members.
If calcite wasn't no-profit, may be P3D wouldn't have 900 subscribers!
