So far, this list has received... What?  Half a dozen unsolicited
"spam" advertisements?

Big deal.  Those of us with smart newsreaders can just use kill files
to automatically delete these things, and the rest of you can just
delete the messages as soon as you realize what they're about.

Kill file or no, the occasional spam is nowhere near as annoying as
this INCESSANT chatter about possible solutions, "revenge", etc.  If
you feel the need to jabber on and on about the subject, do it on
alt.net-abuse or alt.spam.

If you're overcome with the desire to get back at the spammers, send
mail to "postmaster@[spammer's domain-name]", or check out the
Blacklist of Internet Advertisers at:

My newsreader is now configured to kill all mail with "sorgi", "Jeff
Slaton" or "spam" in the subject line, but if one more message slips
through with -- Christ, I can't BELIEVE anyone is this stupid -- the
ENTIRE TEXT of the original spam quoted, I'm gonna hurt someone.

P.S.  In the interest of practicing what I preach, I've just configured
      my newsreader to kill any reply to this message sent to the list
      at large, so if you have a problem with anything I've said here,
      send it to me in private e-mail.
