MrB, wow - I didn't think you could get that upset.<g> Nevertheless,
you're not a kook. Recently someone else responded to a spammer by saying, in effect, go away - or 3 strikes you're out. It worked.
If someone blatantly spams on several threads, I think bringing it to Jill's attention is appropriate. I have done this a couple of times.

If you go to the trouble of pointing out the less attractive aspects of the stock in a spam, you risk getting into a fruitless discussion with the spammer. Maybe ridiculing the overuse of !!! etc in the first post would work.

Being nasty is fun - if I know others back me up.
