Here is my dilemma:  One the one hand GT has been spamming me off-line.  As
a person I am tempted to complain about this to GT's upstream ISP.  As the
Li List Admin GT has been pretty good about prefixing posts with COMMERCIAL
tags.  furthermore, GT provides a decent and useful service to Linux
enthusiasts in India.  I am afraid that if I act as an individual, it will
be counterproductive to my interests as LI List Admin.

That is why I have chosen to turn a blind eye to GT's personal spam.
