John,
I wasn't referring to you, and I agree that the policy of not posting to
high (net|sys)admin mailing lists is questionable.  It's just that I've
seen some folks on here complaining about lack of notification when they
did switch from vix.com to mail-abuse.org, and I believe that fault
should be placed where it needs to be placed.

It is a natural law. Physics tells us that for every action, there must be an
equal and opposite reaction. They hate us, we hate them, they hate us back and
so, here we are, victims of mathematics.
