Well, your suggestion was over the top. Even going into crimial damage if
you were to actually carry it out.

Don't think that just because you have caller id blocked (other side can't
see your phone number), that teltra will not reveal the information for a
criminal investigation.

I don't think Alex was implying that responding to messages and requests
is a bad thing, just that wasting time just to waste someone elses time
and money over something as petty as SPAM is pretty pathetic
