Spammers
Recently there seems to be a flood of people advertising second rate
websites on some ngs, i'm wondering if it would be good to email them
explaining they should **** off as they are only alienating potential
customers

Complete waste of enegy, a friend works in 'direct marketing' and is
responsible for a goodly potion of the jumnk mail that drops through letter
boxes every day. the % positive response needed to make the exercise
profitable is frigheneingly small. Your complaint would simply demonstrates
that the e-mails are being read and mentally lnked to a company - to the
spammer that is a positive result.
