We had lots of spam here in the list, before David switched to that  
policy. I doubt that my presence especially here has significantly  
increased spam in my mailboxes, but I never analyzed that and BTW:  
how could I?

I can only speak for myself, but I quit reading NNTP news about ten  
years ago, since access to that kind of protocol somehow vanished,  
when I graduated. For me as an ordinary smartcard user a daily  
mailing digest is perfect to follow the trail.

P.S.: I use the the muscleapplet 0.9.8 on a Cyberflex  
DeveloperAccess32K and CFlex64K e-gate from Schlumberger/Axalto since  
more than 4 years for daily signing and encryption work and never had  
problems with ISO compliancy, EEPROM damage and the like.
