Brian and group,
The list software does filter out most spam of this sort. As list
manager I get copies of everything just in case it is legitimate and
it should be sent out on the list--we get a lot. Occasionally a
message such as the one received gets through. I will see if there is
anything we can do about it (apart from actually moderating the
group). Although I have little control at this point at what gets
through, I am sorry for the offense.
