Don....how can one be certain beyond doubt? If people want to annoy me offering great rewards, or telling me I have won a lottery, I feel it is better to annoy them back. What point is there in responding that you are willing to participate in their 'scam', if the email address is a spoof? In other words, for what purpose do people want to falsify an email address except to spread a virus or some other mischief? I must admit I am a bit lost here!!LOL I'm guessing that as more people get 'annoyed' by unwanted postings, surely the sooner the message will get home that that they spammers unwanted -- hopefully!
