Id also be interested. I get quite a few but normally just delete them. It would be good to wind them up
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Don't reply unless you know what your doing.
I did that once, and from then on received 1000's of crap emails.
If you reply they then know that email address is valid.
PS
Warning. Don't read the Fluke-motorsport pages if you having a day off with a cold virus, you cough you lung's up.
Very funny.

Sign up for one of the disposable email addresses.
http://www.guerrillamail.com/
http://www.mailinator.com/
Anonymous and you dont get anything sent to your proper email. Mailinator addys you can keep as long as you need IIRC whereas Guerrilla Mail is 15mins
only.
Both are good for using to register free software etc.
