apparently Google Groups is a nightmare to keep spam-free, and jquery will move to another solution soon (I don't get why Google doesn't put the same spamfilter they use for Gmail in front of Google Groups)

Better just tagging it as spam as it deserve.

    We should refrain from replying to any of these spam messages that
    come through.  I agree with the sentiments that the spam is NOT
    welcome here, but replying to the thread just adds us as a
    "confirmed" email address.

    I honestly believe these messages are not being consciously sent
    by anyone, but rather those who do appear to be sending them are
    likely suffering a virus/trojan infection.  Or an automated bot is
    signed up to the list and harvesting emails to send out as.

    I think the right approach here is to simply ignore the messages,
    but let the list operators know (via a different thread/message)
    that these need to be addressed.

    My thoughts.
