Dotan, while I respect your knowledge and helpfulness in most all 
situations, it's not your job to deal with off topic posters. You, and 
many others, that post endless messages chastising someone for posting 
something "you" don't approve of are just adding to the spam on the 
list. There are list admins whose job it is to deal with such stuff. Let 
them do what they are supposed to do. Want to get the list closed down, 
keep doing it. Want the list to be available to help all the noobs, like 
me, that need help from time to time, let the admins deal with it and 
stop spamming the list.
