No, this b.s. is more like having someone put a dead skunk in my mailbox, with no return address, trying to prevent me from sending them 100 dead skunks as a return favor. And about as welcome.
100 dead skunks in exchange for ONE is exactly what this discussion is all about. You CypherWIMPS just love over-kill. ^^^^^^^^^^^

The same useless and boring message posted by rote to a huge collection of addresses is spam, unless participation is voluntary and consensual, in which case it is a mailing list. :) Given that less than 1% of those spammed are likely to reply, and merely hit the delete key and curse a bit, you are hereby awarded approximately 100 dead skunks. - r.w.
