What goes beyond mere laziness, into the realm of the highly obnoxious,
is automated spam complaints, whether to the sender's ISP, Razor, or
RBLs. I have heard of this being done; it's even a feature of some spam
filtering software, such as SpamBouncer. IMHO, if you're going to accuse
someone of spamming, you ought to look at the mail first, rather than
trusting a simple piece of software.

I didn't think he was being facetious. I just thought he was out of his
mind. IIRC, the author of that complaint has gone on to issue several
more uninformed, whiny screeds on this list, along with blatant
flamebaiting that people ought to have better sense than to reply to.
