hilarious.
I'll take your lead and might do that myself some time ...
If I send them a message this will probably reveal my email to them. And beside there is probably nobody there, just some software.
So it means that
1) you put yourself to danger of receiving spam
2) you just generate more nonsense web traffic

petar: I'm not asking you or anyone to send an email to them.
I'm relying on the various spam bots out there that scour the web and look for email addresses in html and then add them to spam lists automatically.
no human needs to be involved..
Roy,
I realize this is your blog and you can do whatever you wish with it, and I empathize with your feelings about spam, but the fact someone dared spam you (how did someone ever think about doing that?! what a revolutionary concept!) doesn't mean you need to spam all of our RSS feeds with this nonsense.
Thanks for paying the favor forward to all your readers!
Yitzhak.
Yitzhak : That's why I put the [ot] (off topic) on the title. so you won't need to bother opening it unless you care to look at something this blog usually doesn't deal with.
The main difference is:
- you opted out to receive news from this blog
- the blog does not send "off topic" posts (spam to your saying) all the time
- if you do find that you don't like the topics anymore you can (I can't) opt-out.
Very different from spam.

Quite primitive, don't you think?
Indeed. Primitive. but works.
Well done Roy.
It amused me anyway.
Lets hope the email address does not get registered for anything that would cause it to receive lots of spam...
I'm curious, how did you find his address? Are you sure it's the spammer's?
Please don't tell me you found it in the reply-to or from field... those usually are faked.
Guess what you will never know, National Position may scour this address again and send spam to themselves ;)
I do hope that you understand that that email adress probably is not owned by the spammer, but is just some email adress from a poor innocent person?
I receive about 500 pieces of spam per day, a great percentage of which are anti-spam programs replying to a message that supposedly originated from my email adres..
