Greetings

The list volume seems to have attracted those that purport to offer
help or services.

Is it possible that the volume of this has reached a point where there
is a separate list for just that.
That would be a separate subscription to a list where if one wanted to
either use or offer services one was free to do so. The second part of
that would be that if one overtly did the same on the 'users' list one
would be either punted or at the very least put on controlled listing.

This request is stemming from the 40 or 50 emails polluted by a listee
who seems to think that attaching his business card or better its
written equivalent to every thread is going to get him business. Mine
- - - - never - - - - I don't do business that way.

Hoping that this request isn't too far off topic!

Regards

I agree and that address is listed as spam for my mail system.
As I thought about it there are legitimate offers and requests for service so
didn't want to preclude those - - - that is what prompted the idea of
a separate
list although its going to make work for an admin - - - :-( !!

I agree with you, only that adding him to spam is not enough because I noticed reasonable mails from people that he replies to also go to the spam box.

Since the asshole in question is using a gmail account, I think the
correct thing to do is to report the abuse to Google:

https://support.google.com/mail/contact/abuse

I have done just that, maybe if others will do the same we can at least
hope to get the losers account closed.

It probably doesn't make much difference, but it's better than nothing I
guess.

Kind regards,

Kasper Laudrup
