Some internet providers will disconnect your account for mail-bombing, because
it tends to affect other users of the offender's system.
A better solution might be to insist that people register their email addresses
to post to the csound alias, and refuse postings not from registered addresses.
That makes work for James, though... :-(

I have finally got the "closed" list feature to work with majordomo. The
documentation which is normally very good just didnt mention it thats why it
took so long.
This will mean that
1) automatic subscribe requests wont work any more
2) people who arent on the list wont be able to post to the list without
"approval" from list admins
so less ( hopefully zero ) spam on the list.
the down side is more work for the list admins and sometimes I think that
even messages from legitimate list members will not go through properly.
ps. the www archive system is broken AGAIN I will look at this asap

I believe that this has already been pointed out, but
at the risk of doing what I'm complaining about I will
reiterate in the hopes that others might consider it.
Why is spam such a nuisance? (For me) It is because
I have to scan through and delete a bulk of messages
from my mailbox that I don't want to read and which
obfuscate the "real" messages which I then fear will
be accidentally deleted whe I'm blasting the junk out
of my mailbox.
In the past few weeks I've gotten a few spam messages that
I've had to delete from this list and many many times
more messages from list members complaining about it.
On the grounds for nuisance mentioned above, I find that
the complaints are more of a problem (in terms of filling
my mailbox with things that I'm just not interested in
reading) than the spam was.
It is plain at this point that John is aware of the spam
problem and is or will be trying to solve it. I obviously
can't and shouldn't tell people what they may broadcast
on this list...but please be aware that you are broadcasting
to many people and so if you aren't posting a message
that is pertinent to the use of Csound and are echoing
the "yeah I really hate spam" sentiment that you yourself
are creating the same problem as the spam...(again, at least
in my view. I realize that there is a distinction in that
"sexo-rama" or whatever is trying to make money and you
are just broadcasting your thoughts about it...but the net
effect is the same as far as I can see, I have to wade through
a bunch of message of no interest in hopes of finding useful
information. I do find alot of good stuff on this list too.
This is merely something to consider and is not intended as
a chastisement to anybody.

Sorry for adding to this off topic thread but the following links may
provide some solutions to the Spam problem in general...or not.
http://www.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Communications_and_Networking/El
ectronic_Mail/Junk_Email/
I am afraid to post on usenet anymore for fear I will end up with tons of
XXX rated stuff in my mail box. In the US there is some legislation being
worked on to prohibit junk email and junk faxes.

I'm a c-sound beginner and I'm trying to make an instrument that will be
placed randomly in the stereo field each time it's initiated in my score.
I've just created a randi of .5, (+.5) and in my outs said asig * arand,
asig * (1 - arand).
What his does, is oscilate the signal stereophonically. Any suggestions
out there?

Yes I do expect a certain level of privacy, And contrary to your comment, I
bet you do too. All the automation and control you describe below reaffirms
that by using these packages you do seek a certain element of control and
privacy.
I thought the Csound list was a 'subscribed to' list and not a general
public list. You choose to subscribe to it to receive news pertaining to
Csound related matters and not much else.

wrong!
subcribers have every right to discuss this issue and express opinions.
Thats how things get done. If it means somebody has to do more work as a
result, then that is something we defenitely have to consider. These kind
of things come and go but usually don't persist very long.
