Yes I did say that.  Maybe there exists a more effective method
of reporting spam so that they will terminate the spammer's
email accounts as they should.

You will get the same garbage again and again from the same spammers.
Simply deleting it certainly doesn't stop the problem.

So far I don't think that reporting it has helped at all.  Maybe
there is a way of reporting it that will do some good.  I sure would
like to see some spammers get prosecuted and go to jail.  If they
would only make an example of a few of them, then that should almost
put a complete stop to the problem.
