I don't agree. Pointing out to the list at large that there are specific and
effective ways of dealing with spam -- especially when it has been sent to
every single one of us -- is useful and relevant information. It also serves
notice to other would-be spammers that such behaviour will be dealt with
firmly.
What *I* find annoying are interminable threads that have absolutely
nothing to do with Web consulting or the Internet. One example that
comes to mind is the hundred or so posts on the topic of Bill Clinton's sex
life and related political woes that went through WC in the past couple of
months.
