Well, so far it seems there are a lot of messages about SPAM, but I think
I've only seen 1, maybe 2 actual SPAM messages in the last few weeks.
Unless we start getting royally bombarded with SPAM, I would suggest the
best approach would be to just ignore it, and concentrate on netatalk
issues. It's a good list with a very high signal-to-noise ratio, and
we're making too much noise talking about the little bit of noise...
