Mark, this "Norman" is a spammer from Pakistan. Being scolded and berated probably amuses him. His kind cannot be reasoned with. I reported him to Spamcop where I have a paid account. That's about all you can do. Take a look in his headers:

About the only thing you can do is to report him to Spamcop. When his ISP is listed enough times, he will not be able to deliver email or post to Usenet as spamassassin will start selecting and destroying his messages. So, plonk & report is the right way. Reasoning with him is unreasonable.
