Re: I have to speak my mind
I'm of the opinion that responding to SPAM publicly is just as bad as being a spammer to begin with. From a technical perspective it is *exactly* the same. Waste of bandwidth, storage and my time. Spammers should be treated like Trolls - simply publicly ignored. - Trevor On Sun, 28 Dec 2003 08:17:36 -0500, "TJim" <jim@ranlet.nospam.com> wrote: >We used to simply report the SPAM and post >the report.
