You're basically treating this thread like IRC, while it's not. "People who don't fully understand the situation" should just read what people have said before; as long as you're patient enough to read, it doesn't take a lot of technical chops to understand the situation.
> You have no right to prohibit us from doing so.
While we can't prohibit you from spamming us, we have every right to ask you to be considerate to other people (and it is within your right to not listen). There are hundreds of participants on this thread, and if I may venture a guess I'd say a thousand or more people are subscribed. We're subscribed for a reason; otherwise, with this much spam we would have unsubscribed long ago.
