Folks,
Sorry, really, to those who are bothered by spam to this list. Trust us - we do all we can to clean the stream. We've got three layers of filters involved on this list. We don't feel it would be prudent to announce on a public list just what those layers entail. No filter will be perfect - spam will always find a way.
We can't set the list to "members post only" because NetApp, among others uses an exploder inside their location and a lot of the really good stuff on the list comes from NetApp folks that are behind that exploder.
I possible, we'll put together some numbers to let y'all know what the rate of ham to spam is for the list...in our copious free time! <grin>
Thanks to colleagues Carl Friend and Yizhong Zhou for their input in here.
