I would be interested to know: Have there been any court cases in which the plantiff (spam victim) sued the defendant (spamming asshole) for monetary compensation for damages, due to the fact that the plantiff's e-mail carried a signature along the lines of "$x charge per spam message recieved"? (no other factors of significance involved...)...? OR... incidents in which such a "spam fee" was actually paid outside of court? It would be interesting to find out how effective such a threat really is. Thanks, Adam On Wed, 7 Jan 1998, J.D.
