If you really want to be mean to him, e-mail your reply to his e-mail address.

about 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times.

But then that would make you a spammer, wouldn't it?

Maybe we should all put all the of the names on his list in our signatures so that spambots can pick them up. Or we can mail their addresses to the Nigerians.

I deleted the two posts in the two forums I moderate, but I can't do the other two and can't block him from posting more.

I am no spam fan.

Why do they do this? Do people really respond?

I do fondly remember eating fried SPAM. I remember really liking it.

I've heard reports that even if only 2% of the people receiving the spam respond that's a good turnout (for direct mail it was about 4%). And yes, people really do respond, unfortunately. They wouldn't keep doing it if it didn't work.

2% would be phenomenal! That's about 1000 times what would be expected. Since it costs almost nothing to send spam, a response of one per million would make the sender money.

Yeah, pretty much any fool that parts with their money is a return on the investment with spam. The ones I don't understand that I get are the ones that are just gibberish with no way to actually buy whatever it is they're hawking anyway.
