The point about a tract is not to send it to one particular person, but to the 
world at large. It's an open letter. We can use this case as an "excuse" to 
clarify our views on the situation. We can simply state that one of us, has 
received this notoriuos childXXX-spam, and that we would like to take the 
opportunity to point to some dangers and some ways out. This is then to be send 
to various news groups, lists etc.
To say that we shouldn't react because it was all a hoax is to miss the point, I 
think. As I said, a lot is at stake. (This also follows from Pierre's and 
Carlos' mailings.)
