This is not acceptable. I routinely post from a variety of different
addresses, not just from the address I happen to be subscribed under.
I have neither the time nor interest in figuring out the address I happen
to be subscribed under in order to get my postings accepted.

Deleting the occasional advertisment that makes it through is an extremely
minor nuisance by comparison.

My participation in these lists will end the minute such a policy is
instituted.
