Alan Ralsky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Ralsky http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Ralsky) is a case in point of the "unconventional methods" of deterring spam. Once Ralsky's postal address got around, he received every kind of postal junk mail imaginable. He said: "They've signed me up for every advertising campaign and mailing list there is. These people are out of their minds. They're harassing me". I feel exactly the same about spammers. That Ralsky couldn't turn the situation around, and imagine himself as a victim speaks greatly about spamming's mindset, verging on sociopathy, if you ask me.
