A tidy spammer decided to sign me and a bunch of random people up to a mailing list and then spam that, instead of just cramming all our addresses into the address fields like a normal spammer. So you can imagine the exchange when someone group-replied to it.

stop spamming, me or I will sue, you.

WHAT YOU SAY!!!!!! I AM NOT SPAMING U WHO ARE U!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!1!!

And so on. I wrote a polite letter to the list this morning explaining my take on the situation and recommended behavior (use a spam filter and think happy thoughts), but at least one person hasn't read it so far (or chosen to disregard it). Hum dee.
