More and more frequently we are seeing spam and irrelevant ads on our list, which then set off a flurry of responses on the list. I share the sense of annoyance with spam messages and unwanted ads that pop up from time to time here. However, responding in this way to the entire group just compounds the nuisance, as far as I'm concerned. I think it's great if you feel inclined to complain directly to the originator of the offensive message, but please take care not to send those complaints to the entire group. Otherwise you wind up making the same kinds of demands on the time of your fellow Museum-L'ers as the spammers are making on yours. --Helen Glazer Exhibitions Director Goucher College Baltimore, MD USA [log in to unmask]
