  Have you ever heard of "RTFM" ?  Did anyone ever come to you whining
that they shouldn't have to suffer collateral damage to determine the
effects of "rm -r *" ?  Anyone who uses an unfamiliar tool without RTFM,
or at least asking about it on appropriate forums is asking for problems,
and should not expect any sympathy.  If you had read questions 5 and 6
at http://www.spews.org/faq.html (or even better, the entire FAQ) you
would've known what you were getting into.

Unfortunately the spews website is now quite thoroughly misleading on the
subkect of collateral damage - claims it is very rare, and doesn't explain
that they use it as a weapon against the ISPs they don't like.  Reading it
as it was many moons ago would have helped, but maybe he got bitten after
the website was toned down.
