I hate SPAM with a vengeance, but complaining about it rarely stops it or even
slows it down.

It DOES annoy many of us - if you get HUNDREDS of emails a day like I do
(1-700/day at work, 1-300 at home), spam gets pretty annoying.  But it's still a
low percentage of my email (5-10/day, probably).

That is what the Delete key is for ;-)
