Re: Junk mail
Well that's an email I hadn't spotted. And there's a difference between being a troll and reacting badly in an argument but I certainly wouldn't want to be Roger's defence counsel.

Do you want to hear my 4 year tale of woe of being harassed and stalked across the internet by this crazy person? I can assure you, if he's not trying to annoy or be provocative he does a damn good imitation of it. I've had an internet presence since 1995 and in all that time only one person has moved me to make a permanent kill file entry. Well actually I need several as he harasses me over several different mail servers. Nev

Yup me too. I reported it as well. Think Gmail would pay attention if more than one report about the same account comes in simultaneously?I just don't understand the logic: he's been told in clear terms not to spam the sam-users list, so he does a query on the postmaster to get all our individual addresses, then sends me 125 attachments followed by 6-10 'recommendations' for some internet speedup software.
