I think I'm going to drop out of this thread.  It really doesn't matter to 
me, anymore.  :-) I'm subbed via a white-list only account, and my personal 
spam filters are getting just about every bit sent to my main account, with 
very few false positives (gotta love "Thunderbird").

That said, I simply thought the purpose of the archive was to give all and 
sundry access to the collective wisdom on the list- no neccessarily direct 
access to the members themselves.  I was just proposing what I saw as a 
simple solution to what people were complaining about.  However, having read 
further in the thread, I can understand your desire to let people get 
answers to their questions "directly from the horses mouth"...
