Hi John,

Please try to use the postgrads@cs.man.ac.uk address responsibly, i.e. to send emails that actually concern an appreciable proportion of the postgrad population within the school. This isn't really the place to bitch about 3rd party websites like bcs.org (perhaps you can find a relevant newsgroup, message board or IRC channel in which to discuss their website).

Furthermore, if spam is causing a problem for you, I will be happy to suggest some basic steps you can take to filter it out of your inbox. Many computer science postgrads have a computer-oriented background, and therefore are familiar with solutions that prevent '75% spam' from cluttering their inboxes. If, rather, you object to the idea of there being spam emails sent to your address in the first place, you could take your concerns directly to Duty Office.

Hope this helps,
Richard

The only thing more laughable would be a School of Computer Science email system that is riddled with 75% spam.

	Hi John,

	Please try to use the postgrads@cs.man.ac.uk address responsibly, i.e. to send emails that actually concern an appreciable proportion of the postgrad population within the school. This isn't really the place to bitch about 3rd party websites like bcs.org (perhaps you can find a relevant newsgroup, message board or IRC channel in which to discuss their website).

	Furthermore, if spam is causing a problem for you, I will be happy to suggest some basic steps you can take to filter it out of your inbox. Many computer science postgrads have a computer-oriented background, and therefore are familiar with solutions that prevent '75% spam' from cluttering their inboxes. If, rather, you object to the idea of there being spam emails sent to your address in the first place, you could take your concerns directly to Duty Office.

	Hope this helps,
