I find that hard to believe, especially since spam threads like
the one I linked are completely nuked from the forum.

Sure, that makes sense. I sometimes try to reason with the
person, but not if the abuse continues.

In the mailing list thread linked above, I only responded to tell
codephantom that it was spam and that you prefer people not to
respond. I figured that was okay since he already responded to

btw, I sent you an email last week about some forum deletions
that some moderator may have gone overboard with, haven't gotten
a response yet.
