I have been in favor of keeping the list open and just hitting the delete
key when a little spam popped up.  But that message has changed my mind for
good.  Our policy at work is that we are not allowed to receive offensive
(and they give the benefit of the doubt) abusive or degrading emails.  When
that smut ad cam to my in-box, I was forced to report this to my employer
to keep my job.  That kind of smut CAN NOT be sent to my email here at
work.  If there is another instance I will be forced to unsubscribe.

Whatever it takes, filters or a closed list we need it stopped right away

Thank You
