All the spam comes because of the archives of this mailing list stored as HTML in thousands of places. The web-spider programs used by the spammers are sure to find atleast one. My inbox is full of stuff like "Strictly Confidental" and "your solution to never ending spam" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
