[llvm-devmeeting] Attention moderator: Spammer needs to be removed.

[John Randolph via llvm-devmeeting]

I disagree with this on the strongest possible terms.  I have moderated mailing lists with tens of thousands of subscribers, and once you let the spammers in, they will proliferate.

My rationale is that we allow job postings on our lists for LLVM-related positions, and so this seems very similar.  My problem with the post is that it does not specifically state that the person is seeking employees for an LLVM-related position; if we allow such posts, we should require that in the future.

(most of the announcements are cross-posted to the dev lists anyway, so I assume the meeting list is just for those interested in the meeting, but not all the chatter?)
