If you do reply and he has some free time on his hands, He'll find out who and where you are and send you his review of your email and an invoice for EUR 1,000 for his services. Plus he'll probably try to patch me in some unpleasant way so *please* don't reply if you're one of those people. in addition, all of this information is logged. in the past two to three months, two spammers have replied. i think that this is a valid notice. what i'm wondering is the following: a) are there debt collection agencies you can hire to get such debts? b) if i can't get money from them, can i declare them on my taxes here as a bad debt and get tax relief? one way to get the gov't to notice spam... kevin -- kevin@ie.suberic.net dante hicks: but you hate people. fork()'ed on 37058400 randal graves: yes, but i love gatherings. meatspace place: home isn't it ironic? http://ie.suberic.net/~kevin --clerks -- Irish Linux Users' Group Social Events: social@linux.ie http://www.linux.ie/mailman/listinfo/social for (un)subscription information.
