When I get those "Please click this link so I know you're really sending me mail!" spamblocker messages from people I haven't sent mail to who have obviously been hit by somebody forging my address, I am always tempted to go and hit their link so they'll get spam forged in my name in the future. I figure if they're going to indirectly spam me, I might as well get them too...
