The best response to a spammer is _NO_ response. Argh! Would you PLEASE just SHUT UP! I hate Spam as much as all of you do, honest, but why on earth do we get 5 pieces of meta-discussion for each piece of spam, and why do *my* system administrators (on whose goodwill, ultimately, the list depends) get harassed by mailing list subscribers over Spam mails? Spammers are antisocial, so it's only natural that they would abuse this mailing list. You, the subscribers, are, presumably, not antisocial, so please don't add abuse of your own.
