I think we should bring back castration/mastectomy as a means of punishment for those who spam.
Works for me! In Islamic countries, I believe that the standard punishment for stealing is to have your hands cut off. This is both a punishment _and_ a way of preventing repeat offenses. With regard to either goal, I believe it is most effective. My own feeling is that a similar sort of combination should be used in the case of spammers, i.e. they should be punished by being banned entirely from the net for a period of from 2 to 10 years, depending upon the severity of the offense.
Just an opinion after the 34th copy of this ARE YOU BEING INVESTIGATED spam has hit my box.
Yes. In that guy's case, I would make an exception and cut off his nuts (if he has any). I have gotten a bunch of his crap too. -- Ron Guilmette, Roseville, California ---------- E-Scrub Technologies, Inc. -- Deadbolt(tm) Personal E-Mail Filter demo: http://www.e-scrub.com/deadbolt/ -- Wpoison (web harvester poisoning) demo: http://monkeys.com/cgi-bin/wpoison
