And I like ponies. You aren't alone in hating spam, but unfortunately, its the price you pay for having an open mailing list. Replying to these messages doesn't help to stop the problem - it makes it WORSE it two very specific ways: 1) It increases the level of pointless noise traffic on the list. 2) It increases the likelyhood that you yourself will be filtered into the spam bucket, since your name gets associated with spammy content. The second point isn't abstract. There are a number of users that feel the need to reply to spam messages, and without exception, my spam filter now puts any thread they start into my spam bucket rather than my inbox. So if you want your posts to get attention - PLEASE stop replying to spam messages.
