Firstly, loser.

Secondly, why is this list open to spammers? Don't you have to subscribe
before you can post?


I imagine that this is for the same reason that FreeBSD does it -- so that you can request help even if you're not subscribed...

Thirdly, what kind of spammer would subscribe to a list, post a link to a
.EXE file and expect a bunch of Unix gurus to go there?  LOL


Probably they don't even realize that there is such a thing as unix -- or if they do, they don't know that .exes don't work on unix...

And besides, it's probably either a) an address that they bought as a part of a huge list or b) it's a virus which is grabbing an address from a mail client's address book...
