Yeah, I'm sure Ralsky et al will thank everyone for the help.

This really only makes sense when we again think of spam like an
individual sending a msg which one may or may not want.

Howsabout when it's 200+ hijacked servers banging at you full-speed
with the same spam? That's the reality.

Is the proposal to send the hundreds of msgs per minute each a proper
handwritten no thank you note?

It's amazing to me how many different people (specifically the EFF in
this case) will step up to the plate with a shallow, harebrained,
mental model of the spam problem and begin offering authoritative
advice.
