I'd guess because they went to the trouble to subscribe, following which
they can post anything they want.  AFAIK you can't post to this list unless
you're a subscriber.  However, I have seen cases where the spammer
apparently can cause a message to be sent to all the accounts on a given
mailserver, which could include mailing-list accounts, depending on the
setup.

Excellent point.  I wonder whether Pete was actually doing a little payback
there?  If not, it's a great symmetrical coincidence.

I saw Mose play here about 1.5 years ago.  Unfortunately, I can't report
that he's my cup of tea.  He actually plays the piano a bit like Pete plays
the guitar, he can get into vast crashing improvs that verge on chaos and
white noise, but it just didn't grab me.  He's very much a *jazz* pianist,
so if youse like that kind of thing you'll probably like him.
