And, as many have noted, a lot of the "aol jerks" aren't.  They're just

yeah, i'm grouchy tonite.  first, we can quit filling this list with
reports of every single spammer, spamsubber (subspammer??) (new term
coined??) that does nonsense like this to us.  A number of options have
been posted to the list.  I choose to simply use the delete key.  Idiots
will always be with us....and we'll always have a few who piss us off with
a new hack, a new irritation, no matter how good Eric and others make
software.  A few years ago it was the first spammers.  Back in the even
older days it was people who SET REPRO.  In the future it will be something
new.

I continue to hope that people will report spam to the SPAM-L list,not
here.  Especially all the even worse spate of "me toos".   In effect, these
are a virus...which infects US with posteritis.
