Besides being a LUG member, I am also a member of the Olympus mailing list. While the LUG has managed to remain free from spam (apart from the Herbal V crap), the Olympus list is frequently spammed. Most of it is of the get-rich-quick type: "Earn $10,000 a month in your spare time! Only the first 100 responders will benefit from this unique opportunity! You MUST accept this offer immediately! This offer will not be repeated!" etc. Spam has become a frequent phenomenon on that list and attracts sarcastic and witty postings from list members. However, it seems that all exhortations to reply to the spammer, whether to be removed from his list or otherwise, are steadfastly ignored. The spammers rarely persist. I think they're just fishing and to ignore them seems to be the best policy.
