I have in your pocket in the .co.uk and sign up to a site to find out how much the .net was going to cost me and got bombarded with emails, letters, calls and this happened every month. Came down from £2500 to £1250 if i remeber rightly
But no never took it up.
I also had a guy from a networking meet constantly emailing me with shite with a very bad format layout and approach and had to email him quite a few times to say look stop or i'll come to your office and smash your pc up.
Carried on for a little longer but I ended up submitting his email address to everything under the sun through a proxy.

mwhahahahhaaaaaaaa
don't get any email any more.
