True story:

An associate of mine had the pleasure of dealing with one of "Spamford" 
Wallace's (http://www.annonline.com/interviews/970522/biography.html) 
deluges. He chose to handle it by tracking down Spamford's corporate 
offices and telephoning, and requesting that his entire domain be 
permanently removed from all of Spamford's lists.

They laughed, refused, and hung up on him. Then they added his domain to 
a few more lists.

Rather than be upset about the additional SPAM, my friend decided to 
demonstrate his displeasure in a similar fashion, although using a 
different medium. He went to a truck stop, found a few of the most 
disgusting hard-core gay porn magazines, paid in advance for 1-year 
subscriptions, and had them delivered to Spamford's home address (ah 
yes, the information you can find on the Internet).

He then called Spamford's office again. Again, they were rude and 
uncooperative.

And so my friend went back to the truck stop and ordered up some more 
subscriptions... this time, with Spamford's name, but using his 
neighbors' addresses.

Shortly thereafter, the SPAM stopped.
