Very unlikely, but expansion of consciousness by taking drugs might
help to realise, that continuing a thread that is spam, does lead to
more spam and apart from this, doing so is spam on its own.

  Hi,

  when I read the latest junk mail, my first thought was, that this
  person should take drugs to get rid of symptoms. However, I could
  resist to reply, since replying to spam only leads to more spam.
