Re: Just in time for Christmas!!!
I definitely know that you are not the only one that doesn't appreciate
the spamming. I wonder what would happen if the list members that don't
appreciate this would send a polite request for cessation of spam to
'orders@compugen.net'? Maybe the litter from requests will make them
reconsider their moves in the future.
I'm glad that sombody spoke up!
