Agreed but all we have to do is collectively ignore them and they will
die a quick death.

I think there was ONE post actually soliciting donations.  There was a
lot of shouting about it.  Then this endless thread on moderating the
list.

If we ALL just ignore the off-topic stuff, it will pop up from time to
time and, getting no responses, the authors will get bored and go
elsewhere.
