well,
Interestingly enough I found the listserv. It's not one of the PHP lists in
case you're interested.
As for my email being harvested because I wrote it out
(mayo@nycinteractive.com). Well I'll change it to
something else. :-)
Regarding deleteing and filtering. You bet like everyone else who belongs to
numerous listservs I hit the delete button often. It wasn't surprise -- it
was trying to pinpoint the listserv and give a heads up.
As it is members of one listserv has gotten swamped. The response there was
a deluge of "me too!"
