Why would it? If a person has access to the information,
as both you and I have, then that information can be either
used correctly or misused.

There is really no more way to prevent someone sending you
a message (which you don't like) via your computer than
there is to prevent them dialing your voice phone with a
machine and selling you aluminum siding.

The solution is the same in both cases: lack of response.
Ignore them, and they *will* go away. It'll take time,
but a simple fact of marketing is that an unproductive
medium is an unsupported medium.
