Amusingly, as others have noted, you replied with an unobfuscated 
email address.  However, I suspect that if you file a complaint 
with Jon's ISP, they'll laugh at your complaint just like my ISP 
did when you complained to them[1].  My ISP contact's response 
pretty much boiled down to "yeah, I was pretty certain he was 
just being a tool, but I wanted to follow up to make sure" and 
sharing a laugh with me at your expense.

Try spending your time learning to really obfuscate or finding a 
tool to better handle spam, instead of wasting your time (even if 
it's just firing off the same idiotic email template) being a 
tool about it.
