Whoah - steady there people. Let's not get at each other , but at the SPAM
merchants who started this thing off in the first place.
Would anybody perhaps like to share basic instructions in how to go about
reporting someone to their ISP? This might be more useful than moaning at
people for innocently assuming that if you hit the reply button your message
will get back to the sender. I for one have been caught out before in much
the same way.
