Reported to service provider as spam.

Please don't reply to SPAM. You just make it visible to those of us with
better filters. Hint : spammers do not read your reply. And no one else
is really interested in your reports either.

I didn't quote the spam except to be clear which message I'm responding
to. None of the substantive content was quoted, and the spammer's
message is thwarted.


Others who might want the message reported can know that it has already
happened. I also see it as visibly advocating, by example, the practice
of reporting each and every spam message to the service provider that
was used to send it.

I also see a lot of other practices ... that does't mean they are
smart.
What Richard suggested *is* - if you wish to report spam do it in
private, you don't need to alert the whole group of your actions. I
personally am not interested in spam, and am even less interested in
people reporting spam (because usually on one spam message comes 10
"report it. it doesn't belong here" replies.)

Many of us have filters that have been tuned over time so that we
don't see the original spam when it appears.

By calling attention to yourself, you're indirectly just helping the
spammer suffocate the group.

Immaterial. You are opening a thread which has no place here or in any
other technical newsgroup.

Others who might want the message reported can know that it has already
happened. I also see it as visibly advocating, by example, the practice
of reporting each and every spam message to the service provider that
was used to send it.

That's nice. But please don't do it. You wake up threads and pollute the
thread pool. It's common knowledge never to respond to SPAM
publicly.

The reports fall on deaf ears and real spammers change their access
route more often than a monkey scratches his bits.
