OT Dealing with Spam

Greetings List:

Here is an interesting approach to help you achieve two things 1) Send a 
message to the benefactors of spamming  2) Maybe earn you a few bucks in 
the process.

Retaliating against the spammer themselves achieves little as the majority 
(if not all) of the e-mail addresses from which the spam is originally sent 
are BOGUS, as such it is far more fun to direct your energy at the 
"companies" who will ultimately benefit from the spam.  These are the firms 
who are hawking their wares via the spam, you know the ones offering CD's 
with millions of e-mail addresses for $149.00 or access to smut sites ect ...

Send an e-mail to the owner of the domain who will ultimately benefit from 
the spam, indicating that you have now proof read their material and as 
such have issued them an  Invoice for $100.00.

To hammer home the point that you expect payment for your services, 
indicate that if your Invoice is not paid you'll send it for Collection.  A 
few hundred of these Invoices and perhaps they spam benefactors may get the 
message we don't like SPAM.

P.S. To those list members who feel it might be amusing to send me an 
Invoice for reading this post, your efforts at humor will be returned 10 fold.
