Spam: Deleted UNOPENED

I hate SPAM, and I don't mean the kind that comes in a can. (I've never eaten it, so I can't express an opinion.) I'm talking about SPAM e-mail.
I have a rule... if I don't know the sender, I don't open the mail.
I learned that the hard way years ago when I opened one with the subject "I reported you to AOL," and found myself in a FILTHY porn site... not that there is any such thing as CLEAN porn!)  I couldn't get out of the site until I shut down and restarted my computer.
So now, I simply delete SPAM without opening it, but I do respond, from time to time, in my own mind, but ONLY in my
own mind.
"Hey, YOU! Stop sending me your photos."
Hey, YOU!  Stop sending me your SPAM!
"It is impolite to send your personal photos."
It is REALLY impolite to send your SPAM!
"Did you try to contact me?"
No, but I wish my foot could contact your butt!
"To stop getting these notifiations (actual spelling)
click here."
No, thanks! Why should I confirm my e-mail address to you?
