Hello Roger !

 RN> I receive and I suspect more.
I received 40 copies.
I copied the download packet, and then using a packet viewer I
deleted all but one of those messages, and I then .ZIPped it up
again. 
You know what ?  Those extra 39 messages occupied about 1200 bytes
- LESS than the message itself !
Yes;  Spam like that infuriates;  but it increases your downloads
HARDLY at all.  Simply selete each message as you come to it.

Yup.   Sorry  :(

No point in doing that, really - he will have been banned anyway,
and your message will have to be shifted, and that DOES increase
download costs.  As does this message.  Sorry  :(
Just IGNORE spam completely.
