  | Donncha just grepped his spam archive [ ... ] and the results
  | since 1st Sept 2004 are as follow:
  | 
  | 	Spam with [ILUG] in the header since 2004-09-01: 9
  | 	ILUG posts in same timeframe: Approx 1500
  | 
  | Spam percentage: 0.6%

 I just checked this against my own UCE archive (which excludes
 other sorts of "spam", including p0rn):

     UCE  with [ILUG] in the header since 2004-09-01     6
    (Total amount of UCE I received since 2004-09-01)  389

 Percentage of UCE from ILUG e-list: 1%
 The ILUG e-list has not a significant source of UCE during
 the last c.45 days.

 I cannot attend the AGM (being in France), but would vote
 Against a proposal to make the list subscriber-post-only,
 and For a proposal to reaffirm the current open-post policy.

  | Margin for error (donncha's finger might have slipped towards the D key
  | once or thrice) - we'll triple the spamcount and get 1.8% spam volume

 ( Because my counts are UCE-vs-UCE, I did not apply the
  same margin of error compensation:  Both counts would
  have to be tripled, changing nothing. )

cheers!
