Best though is to have a hotmail account ready for this kind of thing. Then you can let off steam but not confirm your real email address. Plus you then cripple Hotmail even more, bonus! :rolleyes:

So did I. I wonder if it is worth replying anyway, wouldn't that just encourage the guy? Also if I don't reply he therefore does not have any "written" permission and can't use my code? What one peson I heard of used to do was to send an email copy of a freeware bible c. 1.5MB to the the emailer, stating that he thought some religious reading would be approprite. People would assume he was a religious nut and stay well clear of him! If anyone accused him of spamming, he simply stated he was repling to an email and wanted to pass the word of God around. But with a hotmail account, his inbox will soon fill up!
