Angry To bounce or not to bounce?

Theres a debate in a local newsgroup as to the merits of using Mailwasher's bounce facility (returning spam to the sender as being undeliverable).
Actually, I enjoyed thinking the moron spammers having their own spam filling their inbox until one newsgroup contributor pointed out that the spammers hijack many genuine addresses. Thus, the hundreds- maybe thousands-of spam emails I've bounced since using Mailwasher have merely filled the inboxes of poor innocent folk like myself and unthinkingly I too have added to the scourge of spam.
The b@stard spammers are sending me nearly 100 a day to my main address. So your comments on bouncing which I have stopped doing!!
