Does anyone know how to remove the spammers who have been sending their crap to
the list recently? Someone should be able to cancel their accounts and blow
them away.
I've tried to email the list owner and have not had a reply.

Graham,
What is happening is some SPAMMERs are managing to subscribe to
dat-heads-post (possibly just by spamming it), which doesn't require a
specific confirmation like dat-heads and then they can post to
dat-heads. I took care of the account you had previously mentioned, but
did not reply to you (dat-heads-owner gets ridiculous amounts of SPAM).
I also just axed the address that went out in the last digest, but
looking at the log there are a few more authorized that shouldn't be. I
will clean this up, but that is a temporary solution.
The dat-heads-post authorization is to allow people to read dat-heads on
the web and easily post to the list (also for people who see variation
in their envelope sender across multiple machines). It kept the
spammers out for a while and I wanted it easy for the list members, but
I think I will have to make it a full subscription process like
dat-heads now. I am open to suggestions, but barring this I will plan
to put this policy in.
I know there are a few pending requests out there to change addresses.
I have tried to search out the ones sent to dat-heads-owner, but
anything sent to postmaster is a bit of a lost cause. If you are
waiting for a change, please contact me (here or via dat-heads-owner)
and I promise to make it for you ASAP.

I took my daughter to see Fall Out Boy, All American Rejects, &
Hawthorne Heights over the weekend at the Chevrolet Ampitheatre in
Pittsburgh, PA. I was wondering if anyone out there recorded the
show. I was going to but the rain was rather unpredictable Saturday.
Any media would be fine, but prefer DAT.
Please email me off list at: jlizard96@verizon.net. I have lots to
trade.

As a follow up to the traffic about SPAM to the list, one thing
I have been thinking of asking about for a while is what folks
think postitive/negative of moving DAT-heads to a commercial email
service.
As DAT-heads dates back to a "Research and Education" oriented
Internet, I have rejected any offers of sponsorship in the past.
It has always been run in my spare time and with resources I have
paid for or had an agreement to use with my work. In fact in the old
days of the Internet we did bulk tape buys w/o profit just to make
our dollars go further when it was a specialized market. Hunt, the
Oade Brothers, Terrapin (except at the beginning), and others improved
on this and there are enough things to do with DAT-heads, that moving
it to another email platform would provide more functionality for
users... the cost is those platforms do include ads with messages/digests.
I am happy to keep the list around as people do use it, but to really
improve upon it is more work than I think current volume warrants.

The difference between men and women is simple:
A man falls in love with a woman he is attracted to,
a woman becomes attracted to a man she fell in love with.

Hello Sean...
Thanks from all DATHEADS readers, I'm sure!
We all get pounded with spam and the last thing we need is for them to
infiltrate our list. I get about 200 spam messages a day and I've really
developed a low tolerance for these snakes with their con games and just plain
outright lies and deception.
Sooner or later our "friendly" governments will bring in some serious laws
about this, and I'll bet we won't like what they do. The spamrats will have
ruined a good thing when it happens.

Hello!
I'm a Bruce collector and I would like to trade high quality Bruce
live DAT tapes (please no copies from Bootlegs); I'm expecially
interested in tapes from 1970-1990.
I'm interested in tapes from the new (Seeger Sessions) tour.
I hope somebody can help me
Regards
