Ah, just dashed off a reply with regards to this.

However, I am much more of a hard-liner with respect to such nonsense.
While I can sympathise with a newbie who does this without realising
the implication, this sort of an attitude is actively encouraged by
so-called services like Twitter. So, my opinion is to fight fire
with fire. For the mailing lists that I administer, one such message,
and you are banned, at least until you explain why you should be let
back in.
