Why is this domain listed? I know the jokeaday folks are scum, but heck, I subscribe to the straight dope list.

I've whitelisted it across all SURBLs. straightdope-MUNGED.com was on ws.
ws folks please check how it got on and try to prevent that class of inclusions.
Thanks,

I added this one after a) they "subscribed" another mailing list to which I was a member and b) were not able to tell me how this happened. I have no problem with whitelisting them if they have legitimate subscribers, of course.

I obviously can't speak for everyone that submits entries. For myself, I only add domains _if I get spam from them_. Plain and simple. While I do attempt to use some reasonable logic to see if something like straightdope is a legitimate list, the fact that they subscribed my list to their own and couldn't explain how meant that I leaned towards spam on that one. My apologies to Steve and all the other straightdope users. Cheers, - Bill

Sounds fair to me. :-)

Yep. One of the class of irresponsible list managers, but not SURBL fodder.
My apologies to Steve and all the other straightdope users.
Eh, no worries.
