Writing to *my* government isn't likely to do much good against most spam,
which tends to originate from US sites. All the UK ISPs I know of have an

Not often a good idea, since the consensus seems to be that responses
merely confirm that the address they used is (still) valid.
I hadn't thought about the free email account idea, but I'm not sure I want
