I urge everyone to send this bugger an email, preferably with a huge attachment. This is the equivalent to putting dog poo through someone's letter box.
My only fear is that through my own cynicism, I will tear up a cheque or consign some huge wad of cash to the bin. I think it only becomes a concern when you transfer such thoughts to everyday acts of kindness, such as someone holding a door open for you, or offering you change and refusing to take the equivalent in other coinage. I don't mean in another currency, that would be weird. Anyway, if i get that paranoid I'm sure there are drugs available to slow the downward spiral.

You really, really need some kind of spam filter. If only there were spam filters for dealing with live communication too. Just think - anyone about to try to sell you a copy of Watchtower would find them selves on the opposite side of the street!
I love the "powered by the internet" bit.
