I'm actually quite happy to put them in spam. If there is, for instance, a university that some kid who has no business in university (I'm looking at you, "Cor Ey", and if by some small chance you are, in fact, reading this you are, in fact, an idiot) signs up for with a bogus address, and they don't send a fucking confirmation link, they deserve to have their outgoing emails marked as spam.

Same goes for cable bills, etc. The people who's responsibility it was to make sure those emails don't get to me are... not me. Maybe if someone's cable gets cut off for nonpayment because their bills went into the spam folder, instead of the snail mail box as God and Ben Franklin intended, they'll work harder at getting their own fucking email address right.

If it's a personal email, I mail them back and let them know they've got the wrong guy. If it's some web site that they've signed up for, I'll try to log in and leave a comment to their profile. I've gone as far as poked around for phone numbers and called and texted them (that freaks people out, but... not my problem). I'll also often change the email to "not(address)@(domain)" and even sometimes randomize the password.

Some of the no reply ones I've marked as spam, and there's at least a couple of people (individuals) who I've emailed back more than once and told them I'm not their guy. No response, and continued emails. Those go into the spam folder also.

Don't abandon hope. Your Captain Midnight decoder ring arrives tomorrow.
