Any mailing list is FREE to filter this SPAM looking email if it appears to be a FREE OFFER for FREE PORN!!! THE SPAM IS BEING FILTERED AT NO CHARGE TO YOU AND I'LL GIVE YOU A LIMITED TIME OFFER - tell me why this message, which looks (to a computer) like it's a SALE on BIG TIT VIDEOS, shouldn't be rejected and you'll WIN A BIG PRIZE!!! Bernstein has told us that he doesn't post from his "real" email address. If a list I'm on gets a bunch of messages from bogus email addresses that look like this one I wonder why someone can't be expected to lay off the CAPS LOCK and EXCLAMATION POINTS if they want to post without getting on the posters list and they know that it's a problem. Note that with the method I mentioned the sender is notified of exactly why their post was rejected.
