I don't.

The most effective response to OT topics on a mailing list is to
completely ignore them. People with an axe to grid really hate that. Like
beggars, irritating OT posts eventually move elsewhere unless people feed
them. And if people feel the need to encourage a thread by responding,
maybe the message needs to be considered.

But killing the messanger is a little over the top.

Hard to do, too.
