I understand what you're saying and I agree on this point. As a
Webmaster I've walked many miles in those shoes. Meet a new email buddy
and sooner or later you're gonna get on his joke-of-the-day list, argghhh.
I've been quite successful in just sending a "no thank you" email to the
offending party.
I don't, however, agree on the "bounce button" concept simply because
the average newbie user is gonna bounce everything in sight and flood
the newsgroups with questions like "I hit the bounce button but I get
mail returned undeliverable". You wanna volunteer to answer all those ?? :-(
