All of which are valid. Don't forget, however, that unless you're better
than the spammers, they might retaliate against the one who did it. If
someone can figure out their address, it is possible they could trace back
the attacker's address as well.

All of this, of course, presupposes the fact that the whole idea of
attacking them (while providing some small satisfaction in the short term
- grin) would be far lower than the level of the spammers.
