As much as I personnally wish for SPAM to just go away, it has to be up to the legal system to sort that out.
The legal system has failed, utterly, on this one, so it's not surprising that more and more people are taking it into their own hands. A legal system works only so long as people have faith in its sincere interest in enforcing the rights of honest and decent people.
There really are two terrorist groups here. Spammers and nti-Spammers.
That's like saying people defending their properties are as bad as people they're defending against, that's moral confusion. Remember that most spammers are not selling anything, they're just maliciously trying to disrupt things, and have found a way to practice their sociopathic sickness apparently outside the reach of law enforcement. There are good and honest people working very hard to provide internet services, and then there are spammers who skulk in the shadows bombarding systems with forged mail addresses hiding their identities etc. Anyone who equates these two groups needs to have their heads examined and the malignant moral relativism tumors removed. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@world.std.com | http://www.std.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD The World | Public Access Internet | Since 1989 *oo*
