I believe there are three premises here: 1: Never make software more complex than it needs to be. 2: Always make software as complex as is needed to get the job done. 3: Spammers aren't necessarily all stupid. All you have requested here is for someone else to do the complicated stuff and make it easy for you. Someone has to get the code as complex as it needs to be. If not you, then the guy that makes the library you seek. -- "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them" Albert Einstein
