FYI, I just force-unsubscribed this member (Hoi Lam Poon) from
python-dev.  Normally I don't do things like that, since, e.g, we have
no way to know whether the sender address was spoofed in emails we
get.  But in this case Hoi's name has come up several times as the
sender of individual spam, and if Hoi is actually a legit member they
should have noticed and spoken up.

Of course this can't stop them from spamming. Just intended to
increase the effort for them, if they're determined to continue.
