Thanks.  My SPAM filter had blocked that one from my eyes, but
now I've gotten to see it.  Not only that, but if the senders
address is legit, you just acknowledged to him/her that your
email address is also legit, and they'll be sure to mark your
address down as "good address, we got a response from him, send
him some more random spam, and share his address with all of our
idiot spam buddies".

Now we can have a 50 mail thread discussing it as well.
