[BNU] ADMIN: Thread Closed. (was Recently Sent Messages)

List:
please stop this thread and any others like it. We all know how harmful crash 
codes can be, we all know that they and other language used are inappropriate, 
and we all agree that these messages are disruptive, unnecessary, and 
frustrating. Each time such a message appears, though, the same discussions 
come up, adding to everyone’s inboxes with off-topic posts. If you need to 
discuss this, email the mods, or email off-list, but this sort of thing only 
furthers the spammer’s aim: to disrupt our lives and get us to talk about what 
he is doing. Additionally, he is not on this list anymore, so addressing 
comments to him will do absolutely no good. Even if he saw such pleas, he would 
not listen (believe me, the mods have tried that already). He wants to cause 
trouble, and simply asking him not to will do nothing to stop him.

So please, do not keep commenting on these spam messages each time they appear. 
It doesn’t do anyone any good, and it is not on-topic. To anyone wishing to 
unsubscribe over this: I completely understand your decision, but fair warning: 
it is not just this list. I have seen, or been told about, these same spam 
messages, complete with bad language and crash words, being sent to lists for 
Sendero products, Hims notetakers, Hims DTB players, Audacity, and more. My 
point is that, if you leave this list over these messages, just know that this 
list is not the only place you will encounter them. Thank you in advance for 
your cooperation.
