Spam-L will shut down 5/11/09

The venerable listserv: Spam-L will shut down 5/11/09 - reason stated: ""Recurring incidents involving animosity between list members have taken their toll. The SPAM-L list will be shutdown on Mon,2009-05-11."

NANAE (Usenet anti-spam group) is where anti-spammers argue to where it is pointless to read at least for me for the most part. Spam-L contained largely engaging exchanges about spam. Sure there was some bickering, but I didn't read it all the time to know how bad the in-fighting had become. The owners said the emails from the list will be archived for about a month.

According to twitter user, hanov3r, SPAM-L was started on 19 Aug 1995 and plans to shutdown Monday, 11 May 2009.

I will miss the Spam-L list. Others have chimed in saying they want to replace it. I guess it is a wait and see what will happen.
