emailed wire mesh

Here's the email I sent to many, many addresses at all the domains the wire mesh spammer spamvertized:

Hi!

Somebody is spamming wikis, spreading your name all over the internet. I
would like to kindly ask you to immediately stop this!

This person is destroying the work of others. He is also wasting the
bandwidth that others have to pay for. He is wasting the time of many
people who contribute their knowledge to wikis.

I don't know what this person is trying to achieve. He certainly won't
be able to drive more traffic to your website. Instead, he is ruining
your good names and makes your website end up on the list of wiki
spammers. Here is an example:
http://spammers.chongqed.org/wire%20mesh

Please. Make this stop immediately. It's just a waste of time and money.

As a result of this email, I got lots and lots of bounces because the addresses didn't exist, the mail servers were down or misconfigured, etc. Shortly after I sent it, I also began receiving the infected messages of some worm.
