This type of spam is not directed at extropy for the purpose of creating influence or attempting to gain monetary reward. On the contrary, my guess is that each spam is a bullet in an info war of attrition being waged by spider-like dissidents against the contradictory laissez faire libertarian capitalist strategy of the extropy institute. Responses like yours only incite the spammer and in the end people will get exhausted by the broken cobwebs of communication on this list and quit. Could this be the objective of the spammer in this case?
