I am getting real tired of being told by various folks all about SPAM and
their mechanisims to fight it.....ESPECIALLY when what they are doing, in
this particular case, is cluttering up my mail box and bandwidth with
messages that not only tell me the message is rejected(which I really could
care less about since the message was notification to them in response to a
message sent here, that is intended for their beneift), but even more so
that the message labels the traffic from the echolist robot as spam, and on
top of that tells me to go to Hell.

Folks can reject every single piece of mail that comes from the
Robot...they punish themselves, not me when they miss the messages.

Now, as far as my own logic on spam....if the stuff is truly spam, do we
think the spammer will even see the insulting message, OR even care about
it?

So, I'm just gonna side track email from folks who use mechanisms that
aggravate me, whether it's a lot of bounced mail, or text that's insulting.

cya,
thom
