I doubt if they got it from either one.  I *know* they couldn't get it from
us; we only give out "who" lists to bona-fide members who ask, and nobody
ever has...  Brad doesn't have an open "who" either.

More to the point, I have (different) "stealth" addresses subscribed to *both*
Framers lists, as a way of verifying list operation and of detecting spam... 
and PubsNet has not sent anything to any of them.  So wherever they got their
list, it wasn't from *either* Framers list.  Security measures pay off at times
like this...

Quite rightly so.

Since you *have* posted, your addy may have been harvested from your posts.
Really, there's no way to avoid spam entirely.  In this particular case, as
PubsNet makes no attempt to hide, you can simply unsub from them as they
describe in their posts.  Or delete them; I've seen only two in the last
year from them, last October and today.  Not worth worrying about, IMHO.
