Considering the cheerful response Jonathon got from the people over at the
net-abuse group about having many messages Lost In Space, I was thinking
that possibly the regular's of alt.ascii-art may want to considering
moving to a mailing list type outfit, where the emails are somewhat more
prone to getting through. (To the best of my knowledge, I've never had any
trouble with vaporized email). It shouldn't be too difficult, and I would
be willing to set it up. AFAIK, all it would take to do would be to simply
have a master list of people on the mailing list, and have all messages
CC'd to them. That way artists get their responses, fans get their
artwork, and Spammers can go straight to hell. 

Or possibly somebody with more technical knowledge would care to set up a
remailer, so that all messages to say... Asc...@somewhere.com get
relayed to everybody on the list.

Thoughts?
