	SpamCop has a history of frequently mis-interpreting spam 
submissions/complaints as being actual spam itself, with the person 
complaining winding up being considered a spammer, and getting their 
own IP address, domain name, e-mail address, etc... added to various 
blacklists automatically and without redress.

	I would advise anyone considering this path to seriously think 
about this before they take such a risk.
