Always good to see Heathfield wearing his hypocrisy on his sleeve. He'll
lecture everyone else on netiquette all day long, but it's absolutely
fine for /him/ to reply to spam, and force those whose newsserver
filtered the original to suffer too.
Responding to spammers is absolutely fine... it's only responding to
"trolls" (i.e. the voice of dissent aka reason in this newsgroup) that's
beyond the pale.
