I'll second that recommendation. I've met quite a few people who don't know how email works and don't realize why sending spam is bad. They don't realize the volume that it generates, nor that it ends up costing the recipient money. I would doubt he's aware of the Utah anti-spam law or that he's probably violating BYU's network TOS. I like the idea of a gentle reprimand with the subtle threat of destroying his life. > But, after that, if he does it again, then we should lynch him. Protests, lynching... I miss out on all the fun stuff.
