Yep. The only good thing about this is that it’s nice and illegal, and I can’t wait for the FBI to roll up the case to the top. ---

Losers. What **E-sabbath** said as well. Can’t we get the Cult of the Dead cow to destroy those spam guys? ---

What do we have to do to get people to _ **STOP CLICKING ON ATTACHMENTS FROM PEOPLE THEY DON’T KNOW?!?** _ I mean, wouldn’t that get rid of 95% of the viruses and trojan horses out there? ---

It would certainly stop them from infecting home PCs. As for web sites, I’m not sure how they spread from server to server. But they must show up in the logs and therfore be traceable to their source. I hope they catch this bastard. ---

If it wasn’t for them spammers wouldn’t bother.
