Helge,
Thanks for letting us know what you are doing and that you are stoping your
E-mails. I would note however that probably the main reason you only got 1
negative e-mail as feed back is probably because most Internet providers and
E-mail services recommend very strongly not to ever respond to SPAM e-mails.
Their main reasoning for this is because all responding to a SPAM does (even if
it is to remove yourself from the list) is let that SPAM know they have a real
person behind the E-mail address. Then more likely then not you will receive
even more SPAM not less.
Therefore it is my personal practice never to reply to SPAM and only to put
SPAMers on my Kill list so that further E-mails get blocked.

Well I will take your word for it although I know I have never E-mailed you and
I don't remember any E-mails we were both on but I guess its possible. Either
way I know we have never conversed before.
