[Scottish] Clear out - update

[Kyle Gordon]

Titling an email 'SPAM SPAM SPAM' isn't conducive towards getting it through 
the spam filters on this mailing list. Every one of these posts has had to be 
approved by a mailing list moderator, making it rather unfair to those 
attempting to get 'first dibs' on something. There is no guarantee that it 
will be processed in FIFO order by the admin, or even that it will get 
through at all (since mailman has an option to silently drop anything it 
thinks is spam). Not only will it get filtered by mailman, but there is the 
added bonus possibility of it getting filtered at the users end, if they are 
filtering for the word 'SPAM'. 

In future, if anyone is thinking about flogging items on the list, please 
don't tag it with the world most common spam tag, and just do what most other 
mailing lists do and prefix it with [FS] or something similar.

Ta muchly all,

Kyle
