I'm quite interested to know how the gnhlug-* lists manage to be as
hammy as they are.  I'd imagine such public addresses as gnhlug-*
would be innundated with spam.  Yet I only recall once ever receiving
a spam from these lists (and I'm subscribed to all of them).  I don't
recall a post I've made to the lists ever getting lost, either.

/me peers at ben.  Ben must route all the gnhlug-* posts through a
Vista-style "Accept/Deny" dialog on his desktop at work. ;)
