excuse me, but he explained that he sent this to the wrong address. did
you bother asking if the other addresses weren't simply of his friends,
for example? or you just assumed he's a lean mean person who wants to
spam, simply because you've just seen too many spammers on that day?

checking the facts before making such assumptions could be a good policy.
don't you agree?

as for spammers, it's better to first try to educate the by explaining. if
that does not help, then by all means, do request their account's
termination. even if statistically most spammers don't listen to
explanations until they see their accounts terminated, you still owe some
curtesy for the few who do...
