Now THAT was hilarious.
Potentially agressive behavior tested and averted. Would you like your
Reassurances in Greek?

RTFM = UGoogle, and mail/a have many headers. From, sender, reply-to all
different.

For crying out loud, must Rhizome wipe our asses for us, too? If you do not
like these e-mails, then make your inboxes delete anything with the header
From: mi_ga@o-o.lt. There are clearly no "hackers" left on this list if people
cannot even compose a goddamn mail filter. Just look in the help menu to
figure out how to do it. Everyone. Please. I am serious. RTFM.
I think the Rhizome staff has gone above and beyond for us all on this issue, and
I think they should deal with more important things now - things that they can
do for Rhizome that we cannot. Their jobs are more important than holding our
hands while we figure out how to use a keyboard or a man page. Instead of
keeping them awake at night, can we please just thank them for a job well done
by doing some things for ourselves?

Re: I have a suggestion for Rhizome...
There is already a non-filtered, non-curated archive for storing artworks. It's
called the Internet.
People come to Rhizome out of all those other possibilities to get to something
specific, special, or "more." By definition, that means selectivity.

Re: Preserving Work That Falls Outside the Norm - NYTIMES
Aside from the fact that the work is a complete rip-off of existing work from
DXArts faculty member James Coupe, which brings into question its place as
"art," I don't understand why you would ban it from the list when you have
failed to ban other spam-like postings from the list. Because it confused
people and they *actually* thought it was spam? The Incessant "Please do not
spam art" e-mails to the list actually made me unsubscribe from Rhizome-RAW for
many months, until I finally just sucked it up and re-subscribed, albeit with a
new spam filter in place to quickly and thoroughly rid my box of said
pestilential e-mails.
If you are not going to ban all spam-like "art" from the list, then don't.
Don't pick and choose just because one is more successful at looking like spam
than another. Either ban them all, or none of them. But banning the writer of
some software and reporting them to their ISP does nothing in the way of
stopping those that download their work and propogate it from their own
machines.
I must admit I find it incredibly wry that the mailia "spammer"
actually told everyone on the list exactly what the project was before sending
these e-mails, and, shock of shocks, the list is so regularly full of crap that
NO ONE BOTHERED TO READ THE HEADS UP EMAIL AND WERE THUS TOTALLY BAFFLED BY THE
FOLLOWUPS. This probably says something about the general "beauty" of the RAW
e-mails, that people routinely ignore them. What's one more piece of garbage,
in such an environment? Perhaps the answer to that question is the very genius
of mailia.

Re: Mailia sucks (was preserving work)
Especially "interesting" since the software is a rip of James Coupe's Difference
Engine - http://www.difference-engine.net/.
I have my trusty Pine filters set to automatically delete anything with "DO NOT
SPAM ART" as the subject. I think I'll just add mailia to those filters.
