I don't know for sure that it's the list, but I only use this email address
for private mail and this list. I never use it in other obvious places
that would attract spam, such as Usenet, yet I seem to get a little flurry
of extra spam every so often, corresponding to shortly after I post
something here. I'm convinced there's some relationship. Quite how to
reconcile that with the fact that other people who post here never seem to
have a problem, I don't know. I've learned to live with it.
