The reason CALC-TI is receiving SPAM is due to the fact that this list is
directly tied into a newsgroup.  NewsBots come through and pick off the
active news servers and then the addresses of the newsgroups are sold and
ta-da!  SPAM!  All you have to petition TI to do is to shut down their news
servers and which means, no more SPAM to this list :)
