Some simple guidelines for how to deal with SPAM to the lists can help
avoid creating unnecessary traffic:

you're simply sending the spammers more email addresses (such

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.

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

- 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*
