I don't appreciate being spammed, not by anyone no matter how well they
write fiction; I am especially disgruntled by 'entrepreneurs' who spam my
mailbox with PYRAMID business offers.
 
The usual response in other parts of the Net to such spamming is a return
spam - send 'em the biggest file you can think of, and overload their
system. This however, seems to be a business which is set up to create
spam for internet users, if their name (SpAmKiNg Low Cost Bulk Mail), is
any indication.
 
Sam, is there any way you can circumvent this kind of spamming?
Is the usual return-spam response still the best bet?
