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.

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.
