I thought the list had died down all of a sudden, died down quite a bit, but apparently everything has been going into my spam mail box. Now, ya'll are thinking, oh, she changed the settings on her something to mark this spam by accident. However, those of you who edit with me know the probability of my somehow finding a page or place or whatever it is called whereby I could change anything is 0, so obviously it had to be the list that did something.....
Has something changed on the list lately that would impact this?

Not that I can think of. Mine hasn't been doing this. Gmail just hates you.

K P doesn't know us very well if he can imagine that we would ever shut up. :-)

I knew something was wrong, that's how I eventually came to noticing the spam box and its 98 posts. Particularly the neverending threads never stop--if I wasn't so busy with other things I might have noticed sooner.
It's probably that g-mail doesn't like me, but, frankly, I don't like it, so we're even.

I use gmail too and have had no such problem. Sure you didn't change something inadvertently?
I think it's likely that your Gmail saw something else you'd marked as spam and jumped to too many conclusions ...

Umm... jumping to conclusions. Isn't that what we admins do on Wikipedia? ;-)

I have that problem on Yahoo sometimes too. I think both of their spam systems are set up to learn from how others mark their email, and that, as a Wiki user, should alert you to the potential problem of some people trying to manipulate the "vote".

Huh, I haven't had that, either. I guess you could add the list address to your contacts list, or set up a filter if you haven't, by now. Either of those might give it enough hint to sort more to your liking.
Just brainstorming. With my luck, you've done both of those and I'm being a dork.

Yes, contacts lists are good, and so is setting up a filter. The latter is pretty handy. In consultation with 3 of my siblings, on messenger I think, I managed to set up a filter for one of my hotmail accounts. I rather like it, except that it puts something I no longer subscribe to in my today's mail, and I don't know how to access the today's mail once I've gone to my inbox.
Yes, setting up a filter might be a good idea. When I next get one of my siblings on the phone, they can tell me how to do messenger (if that's what it's called, the thing that lets you chat with people on your computer but not on-line) again, and then maybe I will try to set up a filter. Maybe they can tell me over the phone.
The issue with the spam appears to be resolved, as the list mails are all arriving in my inbox and not my spam box.
Thanks for the help, whoever did what, and let me know if I need to sacrifice a plant to your gods.

KP,
Your patience is something to be truly admired. I share your consternation with computers. Mine is the mouse that has launched a thousand bombs!
And no sacrificing of plants. The gods are plant lovers too; I believe they would much rather see them alive and flourishing.
