Sounds like you got on a spammer's list.  Someone already asked you, 
what proof do you have that it came from this list?  Please answer that.

How's this for an idea:  maybe doing some analysis before you go off 
half-cocked like that?

If someone's filtering your posts from their own computers, then that's 
their right.  If true, then you got 86'ed from their computers, not this 
list.  Again, don't go blaming us without presenting some solid evidence.

And when it walks like an unfounded accusation and looks like an 
unfounded accusation and makes unfounded accusation sounds, it is 
usually an...unfounded accusation!

Calm down, get a grip, and analyze your system, dude.
