I'd like to do something like people do with fax machines where they fax a reply to spam faxes with a completely black page to soak up the spammers ink. Most of the spam I'm getting on this account contains attachments which I'm certain contain some bug or another. I would love to somehow get my vengeance!!! > > Thanks, Peace > > MJ Brush > > -- > http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList > mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
