Re: gentle reminder on anonymous posts

Tim here.  It was done a number of years back because some spammer
managed to find the list, harvest the reply-address of every sender,
and reply to every post with nude/sexual images.  I'm not really
sure why or what they got out of it, but when the list was switched
over to anonymous authorship, the spam stopped.  There might be a
better solution now, but it's a mixed situation.  I'm thankful to
not have random inappropriate images show up in my mailbox (less
of an issue now that I use mutt rather than a graphical MUA), but
it does make it challenging to determine who sent what.
