I think it's a shame that members of this list are getting porn spam. I
hope those who are getting it complain to Yahoo! rather than simply
walk away from the list.
For what it's worth, however--should anyone be trying to determine the
source of the problem--in addition to this list I subscribe to quite a
few other Yahoo! groups and I do not get porn spam, or spam of any
kind, for that matter.

P.S. I stamp all stamps--both those I carve and those I find--in my
logbook chronologically, one per page, and write the new PF numbers at
the bottom of the page.
P.P.S. Randy, I'm sorry to hear people have been complaining about the
difficulty of your clues to such an extent that you've decided to take
them off the Web. There should be room for all kinds of clues, from
super easy to nearly impossible. You should write clues that bring you
pleasure! Otherwise, why bother? Life's too short to sit around
boring yourself. Should every composer write music that only children
or beginners can play? Do we want our novelists and poets to limit
themselves to a third-grader's vocabulary? Sure, it's humbling to
study a clue, set out to find the box, and utterly fail, but hey,
that's life. Maybe we need to say somewhere prominently on the LBNA
site that it's normal and to be expected that you won't find every
letterbox you seek.
