Occasional requests sent to the list are one thing. Harvesting email

I am inclined to be forgiving this time. First-time offender and all. Spammer!
IIRC, he has posted on-topic posts on the list before. I don't consider it
spamming when somebody asks for help from guys who might be able to help. I

Does anyone trim the list?
Doesn't anybody care about anybody else anymore? There are real people
posting on this list, with families and being broke or worse, going hungry
is no fun.
I am not happy to see anybody talented or willing to work out of a job, but
I'd prefer to see posts like his vs. the arguments and flame fests that make
up 90% of the rest of the traffic on this list.
