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

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

+ <li><p>If the SPAM you receive came through a list, remove that list
+ itself should you decide to react after all, unless your email is
+ really for list members to read.

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
- about spam might be okay, though.
-
- - NEVER respond to SPAM. I really mean this. That's why I
- repeated it. If you want to *discuss* things related to the
- SPAM, this means DO NOT INCLUDE ANY SPAMMER'S EMAIL ADDRESSES
- 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*
- email address harvested this way.
