Glad to do something helpful around here.

The best thing people can do when they see a spam post is to NOT reply to it. The spammer will never read it, and if he does, certainly won't comply since then he knows someone has seen his post. If two or three people post a "get outa here" response, it looks like an active thread and more people will read it.

But we can tell people this time and again and someone still does it.
