Lugnet isn't spam free, although I *think* it's set up to discourage robots
and other automated creepy crawlies. Anyone harvesting from Lugnet would
have to at least subscribe, and grab the e-mail addys from message headers.
This takes out a certain low-level sort of spam, but a determined spammer
could still harvest Lugnet.
