So you delete all messags from Jordan? While admittedly a way to cut down on
your daily amount of email, I'd think Terry would be a better candidate...
For news, I just send people a copy of a news.announce.newusers posting.
If/when they respond with flames ("who the hell made you net.cop?"), I
typically just add them to my .procmailrc file. *sigh*
And how about netcom's abuse people, who reply by including the entire spam,
and, *at the bottome*, saying what action they've taken?
Bah.
