It looks like the first spammer has discovered the Trommetter Times Update mailing list. The scum who attempted to post to the list was [email protected].
Since I’ve promised that my mailing list will be spam-free I can’t let
that go on. I’d consider charging the bastard for posting to the list,
but I want to keep the Trommetter Times Update advertising free.

Give Comment Spammers Hell!
“Posting an email address in a public place is not an
invitation for companies to send unsolicited advertisements. Hosting a
public Web forum or Usenet server does not give companies permission or
the moral right to advertise on it. And soliciting comments from the
public on a weblog entry or other Web page does not mean that companies
or individuals are invited to use it for their advertising purposes.“
I’ve taken the first step toward keeping my blog spam free by installing MT-Blacklist.

I’ve just finished installing Jay Allen’s MT-Blacklist. I’ve had a few problems with comment spammers, so this is a handy tool. Message to spammers, “Bring ‘em on!”
Toastmasters Speech VI
Don’t know why it took me so long to post a link to this speech. I think I got everybody’s attention from the very beginning.
"I am hopping mad (jump) about spam! (slam can of spam on lectern)
I suppose some of you are wondering why I’m so upset about a can full of inedible luncheon meat. That’s not what I’ve got a problem with. (throw can over shoulder) Spam is the billions of unwanted e-mails that junk marketers send out every day."
