This would have to be the raison d'etre, for CIPS-L, no?  But is it only me
who is disappointed by the lack of postings on CIPS-L in general?  Or does no
one else care about the issues (professionalism, etc) raised on this forum?

In general, yes.  But  maybe those external e-beings ought to be filtered? I
believe there was a discussion a while ago as to the filtering options.  And I
can live with _relevant_ newsletter ANNOUNCEMENTS (not the newsletters
themselves).  As for your canoe-trip buddies, if they're like mine, you do not
want them any where _near_ this list!!

I don't think that the problem is from CIPS members, ... or is it?

I agree with you here.  The problem is that spammers typically don't (or is
that CAN'T?) read the FAQs.
