That is the most practical response to the situation that I have seen. The rest of the excahnges have been 90% self-indulgent inbox clutter. I am not inclined to get into this, but I could well Imagine volunteer contributors and proofers asking themselves why they are bothering with hard work just to support commercial interests for free.
