Fellow Johnsonians - I'm afraid that I'll have to withdraw from this group if we cannot do something about the spam problem. It was something that I suspected...
I know Yahoo has a horrid reputation, but I have began with onelist and egroups before Yahoo took over both groups and have never noticed an increase in spam....

I am the Listowner for the Johnsonian mailing list. I have been out of town for the past week and have been unable to keep an eye on the postings to this...
Two items of spam on the page don't exactly constitute a deluge. All users will doubtless receive spam on a daily basis if they have accounts with the likes of...

I would ~ I'd go along with whatever people want to read, bowing to the superior scholarship here. We don't have to limit ourselves to one text, either, we...
How about Rasselas? To be honest, I've never really liked it, so it would be interesting to hear from other Johnsonians - especially if there are any latterday...
... My guess is, that if people are interested, we'd need to make an assessment of what people have on their shelves. Some, for instance, may have practically...
