Interesting situation : 1- If you're friend doesn't understand the moral implications then he should no longer be a friend. Here in Greece we say "Show me your friend and I can then describe you" ... 2- If you're friend doesn't understand the moral implications then try physical force ... start with his PC and work your way towards his kneecaps ... >:[ 3- If there are laws against spam and your friend goes ahead and ignores them, then your morals will have to decide whether or not you will report him ... ;-)) 4- If there are laws against spam and your friend goes ahead and ignores them and you don't report him, then you are also breaking the law ... :-(( 5- If there are laws against spam and your friend goes ahead and ignores them and you don't report him and I find out about it, then *my* morals will have to decide whether or not I report both of you ... :-))))))) Costas Anastassiades, Athens-Greece
