I reply-

I received this same list dump as our Brother Richard. Then again when he
forwarded it. (I am not hacking on the senders) I did get in contact with
this person and the $15 was for a list of the addresses of the web. It
takes a number of disks and he said that the cost covers the disks. I had
not the least interest in the disks, but intend to look at the web site. 

Now back to the original question. - Should these be forwarded on to the
list. I am not against the list owner sending anything he feels worthy of
sending. I am appreciative that I did not get any off color jokes from
this list, save the "blonde, baptist" which have been covered by others.
(Funny thing some CHRISTIANS seem to waiver into what I consider 
non-Christian territory) I did look at a web site that purported to be a
"unofficial  UPC site" A exchange of e-mail showed that the person did
not even attend the local church anymore. Nor ANY church. That made him
an UN-believer in the way I believe. I did not patronize this person and
promptly was taken off his lists, and not at my request.. I did make a
mental not to study close the next note I receive asking me to shop at
some store just because they claim to be Apostolic. I AM in favor of
supporting God's people as much as I can. However, if the laws of supply
and demand mean that I can be a better steward by shopping locally, then
that is where my buck stops.
