Well... that somewhat naive part of me was kinda hoping that you would
happily respond to a system that was actively trying to inconvenience
spammers and reduce the usefullness of spam itself. That part was
thinking that you would not object to the inconvenience because you
would feel that you were actively supporting a system that is crippling
spam. Maybe you would think that it was not the right approach, but you
would reply all the same, happy to know that the receiver was fighting spam.
