Mail, news, whatever.  Replying to spam does nothing to stop it, but
does create extra traffic and messages that need to be dealt with.
IMHO people who reply to spammers - and end up sending messages to
everyone except the spammers - are just as bad as the spammers
themselves.

Like I've said many times before, either reply privately or just hit
delete, but please don't send to everyone.
