I administer a list with over 900 members, and we have no spam. It requires
the owner / moderator to place all new members on moderation status. It takes a
little time, but would be little trouble on this low traffic list.

Personally, I would hate to see this list die after so many years.

I don't know but it is rather annoying.

Anyone out there still interested in chips and such,
or is just the spammers here now?

http://www.chipdir.nl/ site is still alive it seems.

Jaap van Ganswijk you still alive? Can you turn off
the spam? Set list to require approval for new users maybe?
