Why mine in particular? Of all of the variations I am aware of, it is
easiest on the person trying to contact me (they don't have to re-send
their mail) and sends out the fewest CRs...

Well....*most* of them keep repeating the same questions, based
upon misconceptions about modern CR systems, over-and-over.
So they are either idiots or someone very desperate to discredit
these systems, and since spammers can't beat them, it is more
than logical to assume they are spammers: Idiots can't operate
computers...
