The incentive is to then answer someone else's user email, in order to post yet another spam'd product placement ad, which is exactly what is happening. Comparatively Peter has only posted 1 time, whereas Otis' spam is recurring, there is large difference. The Lucene user mailing list is being used as a free advertising forum for a specific product (eg, it's not a company, employer, or event). If you are fine with that, then your statements are contradictory.
