Sylvia, the problem is that in the  real world there is no "reply" button
on junk  mail. You just  throw it away.  In the electronic  world, you'll
find dozens of bozos willing to do "reply all" to let the world know that
they  aren't interested  in Skinny  Thigh(TM).  Then more  bozos will  do
"reply all" to let the original bozos know that they are bozos, and after
a few  iterations your system  administrator will say  he has to  put the
entire server on hold for a few days ;-)
