Whenever one of my friends, neighbors or relatives mentions some new thing he bought from an e-mail that showed up in his in-box, I wait until dark and let the air out of two of his tires. The aggravation that this causes will subliminally poison his mind against the spam (that's how superstitions get started). Little enough to do, but one does what one can.
