All of the other comments are valid....and I'll not argue with them.   My
main reason for opposition is that you are setting a precedent.  After a
while some of your listmembers will see what he's doing and will ask you to
do the same for them.  Soon many will.  Then you'll either be overloaded
maintaining all this, and still others will want it "to be fair" and all
that.  It will also spread to other lists.  Unless this clown is on NO
other lists or newsgroups, he'll get spam regardless.

Every positive has a negative.  Part of the cost of posting in a public
newsgroup or list is that you'll get some spam.  Unless his delete key is
permanently broken, I'd not even consider it.  Even then I'd suggest he
spend the 29 bucks on a new keyboard.
