I also fashioned a boilerplate response to spammers, in their own language, for the occasions when I have to communicate to the spammer directly. Perhaps a lot of their misunderstanding of our position against spam is that they don't understand our habit of using coherent constructs of the language. Anyway, here it is: -------- begin spammerese boilerplate ---------------- Hello! I am exxercising my first ammendment right to free speech by complaining about your spam i know you may not like it but like i said i have a free speech right and if you disagree i am sorry but you spam is causing me problems you see it takes time to read the headers and do treceroutes and whois lookups etc etc, and to find you ISP and make the complaint. i am a busy person and time is money you know and i have mouths to feed and reading spam is taking away my time. so i really aprecciate if you would not spam - and one more comment 4u - GET A JOB! like i said your spam is taking away my time and my email. thanks and have a nice day!! ------------ end spammerese boilerplate ------------
