I agree. This is unethical. So is sending spam. I suggest that one would send two copies of spam back for each copy recieved. This is not as unethical b/c one was spammed and one is only returning the favor. If the spammer is manually sending out emails and gets a few replies back then this won't cause any trouble. But if one sends out unsolicited mail to a few million people and they get a few million back then they get what they dished out, tit for tat. If you are the only one sending mail back then it's not that much of a problem for other people so you are taking the law into your own hands. BTW, I thought, 'going postal' had a few meaning all of which could be true and thus it created a pun which made a very good feeling in my mind. :) Fred -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
