Russian folklore expedition

[Martin Votruba]

This is about spam from the Folklore Dept., World Lit. Institute, Russian
Academy of Sciences.

I received this message, now posted to SEELANGS (about
"www.russianexpedition"), a few days ago as spam.

When I complained to the person shown as its originator, Dr.  Minyonok at
"Yelena <msefolk at cityline.ru>," she said that she had the message spammed
"to the list of subscribers, which included your e-mail address," and that
if I did not wish to receive their spam in the future, I should
unsubscribe from the list.

Since SEELANGS is the only such list where my office address appears as a
subscriber, she effectively said 'don't subscribe to SEELANGS, or put up
with our spam.'

I disapprove of Dr. Minyonok's, Curator of folklore archive, use of
SEELANGS as a source of addresses to spam.
