No, obviously your aren't. I study ecology, and I think the stuff this
guy is trying to sell is garbage.
Anyway, I know this is off topic, but a few weeks ago I found a little
program called "Spam Hater" on the web. I am in no way affiliated with
them, but this program has so far been *very* handy. Its totally free as
well. They don't even ask for a registration fee.
Anyway, if you receive a spam it examines it, and even the spammer has
tried
to hide the orginal From address, it still finds it! It then enables you
to reply to the original spammer, and ask them to stop sending
you their rubbish. Of course, that rarely works, so you can send them
anything you so desire! :-)
the Spam hater URL is:

Sorry again for being off topic.
