Of course I didn't really DO what I said I did. That's just my standard response to spammers, to make them think about what they risk by posting their email addresses to people whose privacy they have invaded with their spam. But it's interesting that Shemp has gotten his panties in a twist over this. Maybe he's worried that some of his favorite sites will get shut down. I mean, this IS the guy who's ga-ga over Juno and Vanessa Paradis and other jailbait, if I remember correctly. :-)
