And some of us harvest spammers simply by posting to Usenet. How are
you going to get the chance to kill them if they can't find you to
spam you?
:-)
Viruses scrape Usenet for victims (Swen). Others scrape Windows
users' mailboxes and address books. Send a mail to a Windows user,
and your precious, munged email address is public knowledge.
I say, count on that! Use it against them. Kill them when they use
it, and kill them again when they get their new account.
