Of course some spammers will develop counter-measures to various things we
do to make their lives harder. And we'll have to keep coming up with more
ways to make their lives harder. The effort will make us better programmers.

And if you ever meet a spammer on the street..... <eg>

But definitely ignore the mass mailings. And support anti-spam policies that
are not utterly irrational.
