I get lots of spam ... but I haven't gotten any at the address I use for
the WhiteBox and cAos mailing lists...but I would like to see the e-mail
addresses for the sender removed from the mailing list archives, if it
is easily doable.

If any of those body part enhancing products actually worked ... but I
digress.

The sad part is, those e-mails must work, because they keep being sent
out ... If no one ever clicked on them, people wouldn't pay to have them
sent.  I want to know who the idiots are that actually go to those sites
so we can make them give their e-mail accounts back ... they are
obviously to stupid to have computers ---------- :)
