I must say that I come from a generation not used to mailing lists, but have adopted them for PostgreSQL recently.
One of the main things I don't like is that my email address is now out there for crawlers to capture (thanks to the archive) and spam. For this reason I use an alias email address which is a slight shame because I would prefer to use my attributable, professional email address. Do the long standing members not have problems with spam?
