list identification:

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Actually, in this age of internetdom, one can not truly be sure the 
name provided is correct.
access to the  address at least gave you some sort of firm direction.
I did not share, but when I  tried a little experiment, Amy K, the name 
associated with the spam suddenly developed a gmail address.  From the 
shift  I felt it reasonable that the person behind the effort was actually 
on the list, likely having created this electronic persona for spamming, 
but might not go away if  we all simply joined again.
Still, I would rather dump and filter one source of spam then have such 
trouble following the flow on this list.
Speaking for myself of course,
Karen
