4. Don't feel like you absolutaly have to reply to a spam and
waste good bandwith on replys like "This is Spam, I'm pissed...
can I sue" and other equivilents... The spammer is likely
long-gone or isn't checking their mail because of all the ppl that
will most likely reply to them (or if they're smart enought (or
use a aol-clone email program) they'll put a fake return
address so you reply to a bad address or a innocent address)
