What a fuckwitted proposal: you're suggesting that every clueless luser
who receives UCE/UBE should copy it to Demon's abuse department, and thus
cause them to waste many man-hours of unnecessary effort in replying to
the effect that "this abuse was injected at <blah> to whom you should
write to complain". They have enough work to do dealing with *genuine*
complaints of abuse.
I've seen some stupid suggestions from people posting in this froup in
the past, but this must qualify as one of the stupidest of the XXth
Century.
