Maybe slightly OT, but...
Right! The best way to fight spam is not to react at all: even spammers
will let dead people alone.
However, there's one thing that is even better than playing "dead man":
"teergrubing" (see
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/teergrube.html for the
word, and if that sounds interesting, the FAQ is
http://www.iks-jena.de/mitarb/lutz/usenet/teergrube.en.html)
I love the idea!
