Heheh. Well, I'd likely get pretty ticked if I got nailed by
such a particularly bad SPAMMER. Perhaps I'd resort to some
nastiness too. If you manage the SMTP box that receives your
mail, you can have it do content scanning and kill his messages
before they get received... scanning for the name and number for
example..

;o) That is when you forge your own address to be theirs, and
they reply to themselves. ;o)

;o) If I get hit by a particularly bad spammer, expect a mail
from me asking for your anti-spam services. ;o)

Yeah, exactly what made me start hitting DEL instead... or
complaining to the providers..

Well, 3% == 100% as far as that goes... Once the boot sector and
FAT are gone, the disk is toast. ;o)
