Bad pitches to bloggers are bad enough, and I routinely treat as spam any press release that comes to me that doesn't have anything to do with measurement. But when the spam release is promoting Pay-per-Post -- the most insidious invention to hit the blogosphere yet -- arrivedin my inbox, I was honestly at a loss as to how to sufficiently punish the sender. Any thoughts??? The idiots contact information is as follows:

Hi Katie, I´m Guillermo from Argentina.
I work in Measurement too, at Infoxel, a Company I cofounded almost six years ago, although my blog is about humor.
I agee with you in the insidiousness of these kind of spam messages.
Unfortunately the only way to punish this sort of messages would be to become the same as we want to punish.
Spam back.
Since we are not going to do it, we can only simply not click and send "bad karma" away.
Losing any more of our time in them is not going to stop them and will take the time out of our hands to do the things we enjoy.
Regards (and pardon my english, it´s not my main language)
