Which is the lesser of the two evils:
* Receiving an occasional SPAM Message
* Being Bombarded continually with complaints about SPAM Messages
The request has been issued to stop spamming on this

this issue pass. I'm sure there are others out there who is as fatigued as I
am about this moot point.
Have a nice day

work; as soon as it becomes
profitable to do so, the spamware vendors
will include automated
subscription features.
