LOL! I admit, after finding the spamscamscam site all about how the guy played around with such scammers, I was tempted to do the same. :p

But using a different email addy doesn't always hide or protect the sender. I was surprised to learn that even if one uses certain freebie email hosts, recipients can still see the sender's originating IP in the email's source.

If you must join the game, do it at your local library! :P teeeheee!
