Frankly, I'm surprised it took that long. Or maybe that's only the spam that got past existing filtering. Perhaps a concerted effort to contact responsible administrators of archive to get them to obfuscate email addresses is a Good Idea. Dunno who's going to actually *DO* it, mind you...Well, this time it took just 11 days to get my first bit of spam from this mailing list.
