Re: [dotcomformat] Well... I made it here, too.

The post spam and run crowd is why a lot of lists have moderated posting
for new members for the first few posts (not that I'm recommending it
here...).   I hadn't been on the dotcom list for very long, but hadn't
noticed very much of it - except the one post for the ebay albums from the
eer music guy which annoyed some folks (he's on just about every
list/forum I'm on - he does seem to contribute more on a few other
lists...) - from the reaction it seems he only spammed the dotcom list.

Speaking of - I have a new cd!   Nah - just kidding although I did have a
track pop up on a comp over the summmer...  :-)
