Some of it is quite witty isn't it?   Nevertheless sharechatters do 
not be fooled.  This is good old fashioned spam.  These people do 
not care that it is *you* who pay to download their e-mail.  It is 
impossible to get off these people's spam list.  They are only after 
your money.  The key to finding these cretins is to be found at the 
bottom of their e-mail.   Anyone got some anthrax and an envelope?

Now as to stopping the spam itself.  I have complained three times 
to the network superviser of the source which 'spamcop' gives as:

mikel@cynet.net.au       
            
Of the 3 compliants sent, none has had a response.  Further research 
leads me to believe that cynet is an Australian ISP that has recently 
been taken over by 'Subnet', so there is no guarantee that "mikel" is 
still there.

An alternative complaint address is: 

webmaster@sub.net.au

I would urge anyone who gets the offending e-mail to send a copy 
of the offending e-mail to the above address.  Add a statement  
saying it is unsolicited commercial e-mail and ask for the person 
who sent it to be dealt with.  I would like that webmaster to be 
bombarded with complaints from people such as us sharechatters.  This 
is the only effective tactic in the war against spam.
