applies to you too
Good, so you are proving a point here. People like _you_, who shoot off replies like the ones you have, have far too much time on their hands to reply to each and every spam they recieve. Or, maybe you just keep changing your email address so that you end up getting only a couple of spam a day.

I have a right to opinion, and I still maintain that sending replies to spam (to whoever- the spammer OR blue-frog), just results in the same amount of EXTRA, useless mails. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you become part of the problem rather than the solution.

Oh, I'm sorry, you used that service... so, it's okay, please shoot off some more replies if it makes you feel better. Hey, what's a few more spam in the world!!
