I believe Hal's (well taken) point is that replying to spam, as Josef Schugt just did in c.l.ruby and Brandon McCombs did (to the same post) in c.l.java, makes the spam harder for filters to detect. Ideally, Hal could reply to Josef with a "please don't feed the trolls" post, but the reply would only make the original spam seem even more acceptable to the filters.

That was a good one. Actually I didn't mean to reply to the message
but to point out that it does not matter if a message is SPAM or not
as long as it qualifies as JUNK. It need not even be unsolicited. If
a mailing list happens to fail unsubscription (I had that problem
once) the best you can do is having all messages from that list
qualified as JUNK.

Just a reminder ...
When you petulantly put a person in your killfile,
don't waste bandwidth telling him and us what
you have done.
