I've always taken the approach of forwarding obviously inappropriate
postings back to the original sender (not the list). In this case, I
received the same message on several different lists so it most likely was
not an accident. If everyone on those lists did the same thing, the user
would probably have a few thousand messages to sort through in their in
basket. Perhaps it would make them think twice about doing it again.
