READ CAREFULLY AND REPLY URGENT

I’m just really sick of the way these spammers like to make sport of the war in Iraq! It galls me to no end the way these ignorant fools enjoy slapping our military personnel in the face by these e-mails! If only there were something that could be done. Unfortunately, there isn’t. The only thing to do is delete the spam. Most of these are generated, automatically sent out to “undisclosed recipients”, so replying with something nasty will not do any good. Just delete it and hope we can figure out how to deal with these jerks.
