>MORE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO END SPAM
>
>After sending out the anti-SPAM joke last week, I got some great
>feedback. Here is one person's idea of how to stop getting SPAM from
>any offender.
>
>Step 1.
>-----------
>- Reply politely to the junk e-mail, asking them to remove you from
>their list. If they send to you again...
>
>Step 2.
>-----------
>- Reply rudely
>- Put the recipient's name in the 'to' address fifty or so times or
>until your hand hurts from going <<Ctrl> C.
>- Attach a large file, say 5 Mb
>- Send it
>
>It will take 5 or 10 minutes of connect time for you to send the file
>and he will receive 250 megabytes of stuff on his, or his ISP's, server.
>If 100 people respond this way, 25 gigabytes are taken up on his server,
>not to mention the download time at his end.
