Geeez--weren't any of you guys alive in the '60's?  You play the same game
you do with the people who barrage you with ads containing business-reply
cards or envelopes:  give a bogus answer.  Let them waste time figuring out
that they're getting a non-answer--THAT makes them pay for it.

Don't abuse the technique--you don't need to flame someone just because you
aren't interested--but when someone gets out of hand and/or won't pay
attention to a reasoned request, zing them via e-mail.

The advertising potential of the net is large--but so is the potential
response to offensive advertising; it cuts both ways.  If people respond
when they're offended, the advertiser gets the idea quickly.
