Hmmm. You'll notice I never said to try and enforce it. :->

I fully realized all the implications in trying to actually enforce
this. But sending it to a company that's spamming you along with a
message like:

I don't want any more email from you. If you decide to send me
another message you might as well send me a check for $500.

I've never gotten a second email from someone after sending them
that. Most spammers realize that what they're doing sucks and really
don't want to invite any extra hassles. They stop fast.
