This is true; although not perhaps as satisfying as sending mail directly
to the offender. In this particular case, the message was cross posted to
dozens of groups. If even 10% of the hundreds of thousands of people
reading those groups responded by direct mail, Clarence's computer would
come to its knees. Fine, you've hurt Clarence, but you've also hurt anyone
else using Clarence's computer. Best to complain to the sysop (try
root@offending.jerks.computer).
