Hi, Perry,

The archives show exactly one message in Sept - yours. In all of August 
there were two posts - one spam, shown below on August 12. July had two 
posts, both spam.

I'm not sure that N=2 is a "significant" amount of spam, though the list 
has indeed been largely idle for a while, and 2/3 of the messages since 
June have been spam (4 spams out of 6 messages total).

FWIW, this list, like end2end-interest, has had zero SoBig messages or 
the related 'vacation' or 'spam found' posts. Personally, I'm pleased 
with how the spam filters are running, based on that data.
