The vengeance factor is often a waste of time · Proposed air date:

After joking about a vague caller who asks whether a sender can be traced, Dr. Dave considers listeners determined to hunt down spammers. The effort may work, but he applies an 80–20 judgment: spend energy on controlling the incoming problem and moving forward, because the desire for vengeance can consume more time than the result is worth.
