Just two points on spam:

1. No-one should ever reply to a spam e-mail asking to unsubscribe, all that happens is that then your e-mail address goes on to a list of ?People who have proved their existence by replying?, which can be sold at a higher price! 2. People should try to avoid, wherever possible, registering for anything on-line. If they do, even if they tick ?We do not want to receive any further information?, this does not always have the desired effect, as some spam companies ONLY send information to people who have not requested it, on the grounds that these are the people whose time is valuable, and therefore have more money. Whenever I register for anything on line I type a false e-mail in, and that usually gets rid of requests to register, and preserves me from spam, at the same time.
