[flalug] Why does nks.net want us to have more spam?

    I have noticed a big increase in spam lately, so I decided to see
what may have caused this since I munge my email address in nearly every
group that I post to. Typing my email address into google gave me 5
pages of listings, all of which referred back to nks.net. Every post
that I have ever made to SLUG and to FlaLUG (since it has moved to
nks.net) all show in the search results.

    Since I use both content and header filtering most of the spam gets
flagged and killed silently, but who needs this crap piling up in their
mailbox just because a mailing list is spewing email addresses happily
across the net? Is there a specific reason that nks.net is allowing
this? I would expect this from an IIS site, but this is disappointing
behavior from a linux powered site.
