Full Metal Wheelbarrow

Why are people so stupid?

My spam bin is currently full of messages from people, who, like me, have been added without their consent to a cycling mailing list by a chap called Martin Krieg, and who wish to be taken off said list.

Despite several messages posted to the list by those of us with a bit of a clue (and the fact that I include myself in that number is pretty scary really*) these folk continue to post their pleas to be taken off the list by replying to the list itself, which merrily sends their emails to everyone on it, thus worsening the existing problem. [headdesk]

Unfortunately the list owner appears to be using a gmail address and my clue doesn't extend to finding where (if anywhere) one can report the inconsiderate sod to Gmail as a spammer. Any advice on this front would be greatly appreciated.

Mr Krieg is apparently a respected cycle campaigner, but that doesn't make it OK for him to spam people.


* especially as I've just had it pointed out to me that I've been posting my book reviews twice to my own journal instead of sending one to the 50bookchallenge community. Thanks to Sherlock trishtrash  and jaelle_n_gilla Watson for their investigations on that front :-)
