  Let me suggest that we leave the majordomo setup alone. This list has been
up and active for many years without incident. Let's not panic after one
attack.

  The who command is very useful. The apparent insertion point has been made
aware of the situation. Let's not deny ourselves of a useful feature because
one person abused it.

  Actually, some could say that the continued discussion of this incident is
creating spam in and of itself! :-) I vote we discontinue the discussion of
this incident.
