3) If someone is obviously trying to get attention by making lots of off 
topic
posts, the best way to insure they do MORE of them is to reply or respond. 
If a
post doesn't interest you, just delete it, don't reply. Replying 
exacerbates the
problem.

3a) People's email filters won't be effective if you reply to posts from 
the
primary "offenders", since your reply posts will probably not be filtered.
