sleep 5 is IMHO the shallow end of hackback approaches. As suggested
by hossman returning a clear message to your spammer is an option, largely to disorient or
bloat a bot at the other end. One of many discussions on slashdot
include things like sieving through identified spam , following the 'unsubscribe' links but mangling them to remove
the http://spamdomain.here.com/snoopy?victimid=spamvictim@there.com to POST large annoying messages to thwart
the good-hit counting.
When all is said and done, doing anything to defend yourself against spam
is joining an arms race. Be careful.
I can't believe it's not psellchecked

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
