[members-discuss] [SPAM] Technical Solution to resolve the global "Email Spam" problem

Elad,

No, I am not full of interest, what I have is a full mailbox of crap from you that has NOTHING to do with my membership IN RIPE. If you have issues with your Fees, or how you claim RIPE is not spending $30 million Euros properly, etc. Those are issues related to your membership in RIPE, and would be worth discussion on this list.

I also am simply going to setup a more advanced filter that finds your name/email address anywhere in the incoming message and deletes it, but allows me to keep my normal membership in this mailing list intact. 

Have a nice day.

-Nevin
