 <p>Some simple guidelines for how to deal with SPAM to the lists can help
 avoid creating unnecessary traffic:</p>
 
-<pre>
-  -  NEVER respond to SPAM, no matter *what* the message says about
-     "Remove" instructions.  It is *quite* likely that, by responding,
+<ul>
+  <li><em>Never</em> respond to SPAM, no matter what the message says about
+     "remove" instructions. It is <em>quite</em> likely that by responding
      you're simply sending the spammers more email addresses (such
-     as yours) to use and share with (or sell to) all the other
-     spammers throughout the world.
-
-  -  If the SPAM you receive came through a list you're on, it is
-     probably best to remove that list itself from the "To" and "Cc"
-     fields, unless your email is really for list members to *read*.
+     as yours) to use and share.</li>
 
+  <li><p>If the SPAM you receive came through a list, remove that list
+     itself should you decide to react after all, unless your email is
+     really for list members to read.
+     </p><p>
      That is, if *you* don't like SPAM, probably nobody else on the
      list does, and probably nobody wants to read how upset you are
      about the spam, because they're already just as annoyed.
-
+     </p><p>
      Exceptions include email like this saying "people on this list
-     should not respond to spam *on this list*".  ;-)
-
-     Cc'ing the list maintainer in email to a postmaster somewhere
-     about spam might be okay, though.
-
-  -  NEVER respond to SPAM.  I really mean this.  That's why I
-     repeated it.  If you want to *discuss* things related to the
-     SPAM, this means DO NOT INCLUDE ANY SPAMMER'S EMAIL ADDRESSES
-     IN THE LIST OF RECIPIENTS!!!
-
-     Otherwise, not only is *your* email address "harvested" as a
-     future "we know there's a person behind this" address for spamming,
-     anyone who absent-mindedly responds to *your* email without
-     trimming the spammer's address (as I've done) also gets *their*
-     email address harvested this way.
