Having posted on the list to a spam message or two, I'm wondering that
instead of any of us doing that, we might consider the following:

Another approach would be to post the metafaq to the list as a reponse to
the spam...of course not top-posting, and quoting just enough of the spam
to let others follow the thread.

I suppose that if someone REALLY wanted to be either helpfull or
forcefull, they could email the 'offender' privately.

Using the above approach, there wouldn't be a "moderattion" message to
one offender from one or more list members, with the possible "me too",
"me three", "You're a Nazi", "Why post the message to the list" and all
the fallout that occurs from moderation messages posted in public.

In many neighborhoods that subscribe to the broken window theory the
window is fixed, and the offenders, if known, are dealt with directly,.
