A fair comment, and here are the three reasons I did not do that.
1. naDev QInmey pab vIpoj 'ach De'wI' vInaw'laHbe'. vIteqlaHbe' jIH.
I analyse the grammar of messages here, but I can't access the computer. I
can't take him off.
2. Hoch jabbI'IDmaj ngeHqa'ba' neH. laDbe'law'. vaj jIjangchugh vIQaHbe'lI'.
He's clearly just resending every one of our messages. I don't think he's
reading them. So if I answered I wouldn't be helping him.
3. Hoch De' poQbogh ngaS jabbI'ID cheghbogh!
All the information he required is contained in the transmission he returned.
The listowner and most responsible listowners do not remove people from a
listserver based on spam sent to the list. Some of them seem to think they
should send: "F*** YOU!!!!" to <listname>@<return-path> to unsubscribe, when
the header and welcome message say "unsub <listname>" to listserv@<return-path>
is the one to use.
It may seem cruel, but if we teach them that spamming the list with
profanities works, they'l do it again and recommend the technique to their
friends.
