    Not a good idea, in my view. As I understand it, it's effectively a

    sympathy for the spammers, two wrongs don't make a right.

    And that is what Lycos now think - they have withdrawn the "service"...

    Quite right, lets tackle the problem from lots of differant angles, some of
    us can hurt them in their pockets and you could send them a stern letter!
