Why don't we make it known (In the periodic developers FAQ posting?)
that we do not accept unsolicited email and that we will charge a fee
($50 per line per subscriber :). I for one would be more than happy
to do the detective work to track these down. As for what to do with
the money -- perhaps we should see how much we get first.
If we want to do this, we should pick some price and mention it in our
FAQ.
