[Sigia-l] Spamming this list

I don't think it's (solely) the repetition that's bothersome. It's the raw
display of disrespect: refusing to engage in any discussion, contributing
absolutely nothing, not bothering to participate, and yet finding it
expedient to merchandize when there's something to sell. Like I said, this
is not new on this list, as this nearly three-year old passage (not mine)
from the archives demonstrates:
