The logic, at least where spam is concerned, has long been that replying to a spammer merely indicates that your e-mail address is valid. Even if the plan is to get off the mailing list, there is a high risk that replying will result in more pitches for exciting opportunities to earn $1 million a week working from home. http://www.wired.com/news/ebiz/0,1272,51517,00.html ------ End of Forwarded Message For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
