SPAM LAW

[Gates, Scott]

HELIPHINO, but the best way I have found to deal with spam is to ignore
it.
Don't reply, (not even to be removed from the list) because this only
gives the spammers a verification of your address, which they sell to
others before dropping you from their list.  (Nope, the law didn't cover
that).  
Be careful about posting to news groups of *any* kind. Spammers
regularly search the news groups for new addresses. 
Even browsing can give you away, so take your e-mail address out of your
browser if you don't use it for e-mail, but then replying to <mailto:>
tags becomes impossible.  
Spammers are a particular kind of vermin that can only be killed by
starving them. Ignore them totally. If they don't get any responses,
they've got to go get a real job sometime.
