Worse. Some of them use your reply to determine that your e-mail
address is truly "active", and thereby use it for the next spam, or
sell it to another spammer. Ever since I learned this, I never
"reply" to spam, I simply delete them and move on. It's also far less
work for me.

Y2k isn't the programmers' fault.  It was caused by 
the Business Managers trying to save a few bux.
