They then complain that they have been removed and swear that they didn't do it. Anyone have a handle on what this is about?That has been a problem basically as long as AOL has had the feedback loop. The theory is that some AOL users use "This is spam" as a delete button; apparently at one point the buttons were right next to each other (making it an easy accident).I still see this one, both accidentally and intentionally (I'm not interested in this topic, so it's spam.) Most of the lists I run are small - parent-teacher organizations, churches, and such - and I generally warn people about hitting the spam button, then I drop them if they do it again.
I see this very frequently -- dozens of times per day -- for all manner of things, including receipts for fairly expensive state government licenses and permits. I can't imagine anyone intentionally marking these as spam, but certainly can see a finger check causing the problem. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mikea () mikea ath cx Tired old sysadmin
