I dunno, I'm subscribed to half a dozen or so mailing lists, and none of them
have any spammers, bots, trolls, etc. The only things we see are a couple
times a week someone will indignantly demand that they be unsubscribed from
the list, evidently too impatient to read the instructions on how to
unsubscribe that are printed in a blurb at the bottom of EVERY email from the
list. They do provide some entertainment though; what did they think they
were going to get when they subscribed to a clearly defined mailing list?
