Subject: [iwar] Historical posting

          

 The previous posting from another onelist list owner seemed to me to be
ont he edge of spam.  I have forwarded the following to onelist and hope
that the list members will bear with us.  I ask that list members do not
use the list for similar purposes in the future and we will watch these
things closely.

Dear onelist folks:

        The following appears to be a new method of solicitation (aka
spam) used at onelist.  Note the generic nature of the signup and the
use of 'self-identification' to try to slip the solicitation through
(solicitation to join a list).  This is close to the edge, and I think
you should be aware of it.  If we should get another such message or get
a similar one for other communities, action should be contemplated.
Perhaps your folks could take a global look at the person who runs this
other list and see if they are doing something similar with other lists.
