Another option, if you have 3 minutes of spare time, why not send them a submission? A very special submission. One you might even enjoy reading yourself: "SCIgen - An Automatic CS Paper Generator" http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/ Of course, you could also send them a different paper (title has words you might not want displayed in large fonts on a monitor in public): http://www.scs.stanford.edu/~dm/home/papers/remove.pdf -Dave, who dislikes spam conferences as much as the next guy.
