Exposing Spammers For All They're Worth

Posted by timothy on from the next-time-up-the-rates dept.

llywrch points out this interesting story at Art & Farces in which a "guy fights spammers by occasionally sending an email telling the spammer to leave him alone or he'll bill for time & services. Some take him off their mailing list, some pay the bill, but most don't respond . . . except one guy who was so incensed at receiving this invoice he had his lawyers send a threatening note. Makes it easier for Fraase to collect on his invoice."

    How much time can you waste hitting the delete key on your mail client ?

    What does this bloke want to get paid in ..micropayments? It's hardly difficult identify spam when you see it.

    I've never understood all the indignation and self righteousness that spam generates. Delete it and move on ..it's no big deal.
