While I think it would be a good guess that an email like that does not 
belong to somebody who is actually interested in Evergreen governance, 
in some cases there's also no accounting for taste.  Regardless, there 
are various technical solutions that are available for doing spam 
filtering, and if spam becomes an actual problem for this particular 
list, we should employ those first.

As I mentioned in my previous email, I have every faith in Chris' 
judgment regarding routine maintenance and removing spammers, but if his 
time is limited, I'm sure there are several folks in the community who 
would be willing to help out with routine list maintenance.

Regards,

Galen
