My experience with spammers is that they use fake addresses, sometimes using
an innocent user's address. Rarely will a reply to <abuse@sender's address>
result in more than a mail daemon message teeling me that the address is
unknown.

Dear Dr. McCarty

Thank you always for the inspiration shared in your contributions
to HUMANIST. They are very helpful. As to a recent discussion on
HUMANIST: Could it be that neither discerning (Plato) nor critique
(Bayle), but reflection essentially is the Royal Art ? Though each
is only half the story. Just a thought...

Thanks again.
