Hi a h-uile duine

Gordon has just alerted me to the recent spam that appeared on this
list, much to my disgust. I've banned the offender who had joined and
spammed some 70+ Google Groups, but I suspect that more will follow. I
think this is an example of a 'spammer sweatshop', where spam
factories employ people simply to trawl the web joining fora, creating
blogs, setting up dummy sites, etc, to evade automated anti-spambot
measures. I can't set the group such that I have to approve each new
member, but I have set new member posts to be moderated so they should
come to me for approval and not go to the list straight away, as is
currently the case. I have zero tolerance for spam, and a bitter
hatred of spammers, so I promise you I'll do all I can to keep this
list spam-free.

Tìoraidh

Fred
