(also polite question) ie. both methods achieve the same thing in getting the original post removed from the archives. I modified the advertised sites url in my response - they got no backlinks from it. And they don't care if it's archived, the gmane and google groups copies and a dozen other live on forever. The company that benefited, sent, and commissioned the spam, are all owned and run by the same person, and are all based in Australia. It's a jailable offence to spam - report them to ACMA, not doing so just encourages them. Ditto with reporting them to Google. While I'm sure it's not your intention to encourage and nourish spammers - it is exactly what you are doing when you don't do those things. (and responding to the spam is not necessary, reporting it is). Regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
