This works both ways - if people want to sue you cannot impose your
criteria to stop them suing. If people want to apply pressure to get
spammers disconnected, you cannot prevent them from doing so. If people
want to get laws passed, you can't stop that either.

Alternatively, the spammer, who is the one taking a deliberate action with
the intention of impacting on the victims, blames the victims for letting
him get hold of the email address - that is, the spammer blames the victims
for the spammer's actions.

The fact of the matter is that you don't have control over when your email
address is posted. Other people will post it. For example, *I* have *never*
put my home email address anywhere on the web, but others have - many
others. The only sure way to prevent an email address from finding its way
on the web is to have no email address at all.
