I found that person who is spamming OpenCV list with "Plz visit my e-gaming site at http://." is PhD
So... did you establish that the person doing the spamming actually *is* that professor, or merely somebody who managed to phish the professor's credentials and is using their identity to send the spam? (We get 5 or 10 phished users a day, and maybe 1 or 2 actual spammers a year) As you note yourself: "Man who writes into computer vision list: Dear Friends, ... does not look like scientist with problem solving skills able to work on satellite vision problems." So it's possible the person has been phished or joe-jobbed.
