Often its the arguments on "spam and moderation" that turns out to be worthy of deletion than what those that are "considered" spam. History shows that Raj is almost always the first one to get offended!

It is spam. But content is worth of getting help from everyone , particularly from members here. He should not be blocked.
By that logic we should be discussing the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the rising prices in India, the corruption of government and bureaucracy, the rise of English-speaking people in China, the sinking of the South Korean ship and about 1/2 a billion other worthy causes here.
This list is meant for the discussion of Free Software in relationship to India. Any other subject, however "worthy", is off-topic here.
And don't forget, your idea of worth differs from mine, as mine does from other peoples'.
In short, bringing in arbitrary social issues into a mailing list with a specified objective is spam and, in my opinion, worthy of moderation.
