That may be, but here's my war story: during one of the spam-eruptions a 
few years ago, my (old) email address single-handedly brought down my 
alma mater's mailserver.  Over 6000 spams a day: half of the entire 
campus's traffic combined -- even counting that the other users were 
also receiving much higher than normal spam traffic, thanks to the 
spamphoon.  You know you're in trouble when the head of the entire 
institute's IT department tracks down your out-of-state cell phone number...

And it was UPHILL, BOTH ways, and I was barefoot in five feet of snow! 
And I was _grateful_, I tell ya!
