I reported the group for spamming. Adding me and others without our consent
and sending unsolicited emails must be stopped somehow.

[Austin Hair]

For the record, about an hour ago I permanently banned Site Admin,
going so far as to create regex filters for his content. And no,
Russavia, I didn't think it was you.

Unfortunately, I can't do anything about the individual
subscriptions—yes, I got one too.

which pretty clearly suggests use of some address extraction tool, yes.
