I think you are missing the math here.

It's both discourteous and, potentially, unmanageable.

It's discourteous because I have no desire or obligation to directly send
any email to the spammer.  Whatever its purpose might be, it sure doesn't
benefit me. It shifts the burden of spam management from the poster to me,
by spamming me. Outrageous.

It's unmanageable because if one list member has a 'right' to do this then
all members do as well. Should they exercise that right (if it's so good)
then for *every time* I start a thread I would get literally *hundreds* of
pieces of email, asking me to go out of my way to solve their spam problem.
Not gonna happen.

So I'm willing to bet that spam prevention by spamming is not going to work
in the long run. I wish the list owners would do something about it.

Best,
