[thelist] Help I've been banned

I don't know the mechanism by which they do it, but recently I was told by a
speaker at a seminar that the big indexes and search engines look for
exactly this kind of thing (multiple pages with identical content) and will
refuse to list the site. He said you can do multiple point-of-entry pages
and it's well-known "getting listed" trick, but not to do more than 3 or 4
pages, otherwise you'd get blacklisted.

Like I said, I don't know HOW they do it. Just pointing out that it's not
unheard of. Don't know how to undo it, either, except maybe to kill about
246 of those pages (250?!) and resubmit.
