I think Dan provides a great service.
 
As far as I am aware, this is an open list. Free for anyone to join and
use. It's not meant to be restricted.

Your point about spam harvestable format is perhaps fair - but nothing
is preventing you from posting messages where your address is not
harvestable. Ultimately this choice is up to you, not Dan.

I don't think this really has anything to do with ADSL, and it would
have been more appropriate to take it up with Dan directly first before
blasting the list.

Please don't post any replies to the list on this issue. I don't have
any further comment on this, so please don't email be back a reply.

WOW, this sucks!
 
Not only does Dan Langille insist on keeping all the email addresses in
the archives in a spam harvestable form, but he is also allowing his
server to operate an open relay, so anyone from any email address can
spam the list!
