Flame the creeps by all means, but don't expect their postmaster to help
if you flame them as well, or go over the top with your flaming.

Remember, the sysadmins at the offending site can do something far more
effective that flame the user, they can blow the offending account(s)
away. (Why use a flamethrower, when you can call up a tactical nuke ?)

But they'll only do it if you have a *genuine* complaint, and don't
descend to the offender's level.
