Dear PhneCards,
Please stop using my email address as part of an inappropriate email bomb. If this continues, I will be forced to persecute your return email address.
Now we don't want that to happen, do we?

Did you know this company is using your email address as part of an unlawful email bomb?
I would advise you to write to them at cypherpunks@toad.com and owner-cypherpunks@toad.com and advise them to stop using your email address for this type of activity.
It is illegal to use a invalid return email address. If this continues, I will be forced to prosecute the return email address - which they are making to look like you.
I got a similar message from those idiots and replied off list (part of my email bomb, I guess). There email is terrific -- save it for evidence. They *admit* that they know you aren't doing what they are complaining about, but threaten to sue you anyway. I hope there lawyers have read Civil Rule 11 ... on second thought, I hope they haven't!$$$$$! EBD
