I have before. Some jerkwad spammer was using my email address in the From field of his spam. Retribution for having complained about his spam to his provider and getting his account shut off. If you complain, "joe jobs" go with the territory. If you use a common email, at some point, one of the scum will use it, seemingly at random for their crap. > The group's advice would be much appreciated. We should start a network of local vigilantes for each of our areas. Once we have identified a spammer in the near physical location, whoever is closest would go there and execute them. Do our part to save the planet and all that. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
