And I never heard from them again

Back in 1997, some asshole spammed the entire usenet with a pyramid scheme, and decided to use
[email protected] as the "reply-to" address. OMG!!! It was my address, and it brought down the mail server of my ISP for a whole weekend when the mail bombs started coming.
Man, I sent out some very nasty emails back to the bomber brigade (I hadn't, by then, figured out what a pointless exercise it was).
One lives and learns. I have since had many websites closed (at least until they move to a different host) and at least 2 (that I can remember) user accounts (with their ISP) closed. Also numerous hotmail/yahoo mail accounts.
Once I learned that all ya havta do is send a *serious* complaint to the host/ISP with full details and your full name, it became a bit of a hobby for a while. Nowadays I don't care unless it's persistent from a single source.
