would you go to japan and complain because a classified ad in the local 
paper was written in kanji? its more beneficial to educate the unknowing 
rather than to accomodate them. and I would say that by the looks of 
this thread at least one person has now learned about tricks that avoid 
spam (to help protect themselves), and how to interact with these tricks 
in a legitimate manner (to help them communicate with the people who use 
such "tricks").
