I took a chance and subbed, but not from my personal account. ;-)
List traffic is really low; mostly introductions and stuff. I have
noticed some SPAM, but it could just as easily come from someone tapping
this or another list for names.
Although I'm not certain, I think OneList counts on people visiting its
www site and seeing the ads as its revenue source, rather than reselling
addresses to SPAMmers.
I don't know if the list owners get any $ or other compensation....
Cheers,

Has anybody have any experience with OneList? I've tried to communicate
with Mark Bell who is trying to promote this new list but he outright
refuses to give any clarification or information. If I sign up do I have to
put up with a load of Spam?
I still think this is the best list and I will not leave it. But I was
curious.
