[NR] Spam

[Decker, Terry D.]

The simple fact that spam is a rare occurence on the Northern Regional list
is a good reason not to change anything.  Pug's filters handle most of the
garbage and a little judicious use of the delete key handles the rest.

Yes, someone with some technical skill, the right tools, and a political
agenda sent us an inappropriate politic screed.  As long as it isn't a
continuing assault, let's chalk it up to the First Amendment and forget it.
The incident is nothing compared to the garbage which flows daily from
Yahoo! and AOL.
