Is it easy to ignore?  A number of people have been responding to these 
posts requesting that they stop... so I actually disagree.  Either I'm 
vastly over-estimating the problem or you are vastly ignoring it.

Actually, it is a problem because filtering will not work if others 
respond and quote the messages of the individual.  I suppose that calls 
for another layer of filtering? :)
