Why reply at all? Leave it to someone else to reply or leave the question
hanging. On a public list I certainly don't expect to agree with or be
pleased by every post that hits my inbox, nor do I feel the need to respond
to every post I whether I like it or not. It takes me all of ten seconds to
scan the offending message, utter a derisive obscenity, hit delete and then
move on to the next message. Sure it's annoying sometimes but that's the
price of being part of a public forum.

I don't recall seeing any posts *that* bad, but I've only been lurking here
a couple of months so maybe I missed it, but for me, at least, the paragraph
above is still valid even in this extreme.
