I dont think so. A polite reply off the list does the trick manytimes.
And besides, if you are part of a public mailing list to which you reply quite
often, spam-bots will get your email addressess from N number of different
sources which are beyond your control, and not just list archives alone. So
stop being hysterical and use a good spamkilling software.
spamassassin is pretty good imho. (g,d&r) :-)
