Cybermartyr

Picture my Dad: born in 1940. Started using the internet in 1997. He was telling me the other day - gradually working himself into a rant as he was doing so - about how recently he's been getting two spam messages a day and there was no block function on his mail program. So what to do? He pressed 'reply' and wrote an email back asking them if they would kindly take him off their mailing list. Surprise and indignation ensues when spammage increases ten-fold.
