I think, posting pd-list mails to a blog site is something different
from the official (iem) and semi-official (elists.com, gmane)
archives.
Did you take a look at the respective blogger site?
http://pdlist.blogspot.com/ Did you read the comments? It's pure
blogspam, which is riding piggyback on content generated by the pd
community. This definitely is not a context I would want my texts to
appear, so I'm glad IOhannes brough this up again and finally
suspended what I consider exploitation of the pd-list.
Plus: blogger.com is not even taking the small anti-spam measurements
gmane uses: You can find verbatim email addresses in the blog entries,
whereas gmane at least semi-hides it with <at>.
Ciao
