Personal opinion there.
I'm subscribed to a number of (gnu.org, etc) mailing lists and never (or
rarely) see any spam on others. When I do see repetative ignored spam and
nobody complains or fixes it, it makes me wonder as to whether the list is even
maintained. It's also a sign the list isn't active or is no longer utilized.
If the movie is bad enough and complaints go apparently unheeded, the next
logical step seems to be to make a public statement if it bothers one enough.
Question is then, is anybody left in the movie theater to hear it. ;-)
