I did misunderstand: Sorry.

If we just ignore it do you think it will go away? I don't. I take the time to report each one to their ISP or company management and I know a few others here do too. I believe it is one of the reasons we get so little compared with other unmoderated usenet groups. And I only respond to spam that is Oracle related as I know the spammer more likely cares about their reputation in the community. The hit-and-run spammer promoting porn or whatever I ignore as I know they don't care.

I hope this clarifies it and be assured that when more than a small percentage of emails agree with you I will change what I do. It is not my intention to ignore or rebuff anyone but neither is it my desire the ignore the majority opinion.
