Or do you mean that you know for sure that your address was harvested from this list? I've not noticed getting any extra spam since joining, personally. Don't forget that: a) Emails you send to this list may be forwarded elsewhere, with your address included b) The email address you use for this list may have been 'brute-forced' c) Some malicious oik may have posted your address somewhere else world-readable d) You might have accidentally posted it someplace else (eg register for access to our forums, we promise not to use it for blah blah blah, please tick a box, etc, etc). -- AdamT "Justify my text?
