Relax, Elizabeth.

The message is what is known as a "spam". It is virtually impossible to keep
each and everyone of these off a discussion list, given the way they are
distributed by their perpetrators. We've had them before; well have them again.
John Chadwick does a far better job than mosts sysops in keeping our list free
of these, but even he can't stop all of them.

To want to leave a distribution list as useful as MUSEUM-L because some swine
has placed a spam on it is akin to cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.
