SpamNet: Razor for the Masses
UCRowerG writes "From CNET News on Yahoo!: "Conceived by Napster co-founder Jordan Ritter and open-source developer Vipul Ved Prakash, the company is touting the benefits of democracy, networking and collaboration in the war against unscrupulous e-mail marketers." " Since Prakesh is
responsible for Razor, hopefully there will be Linux support as well, but
once again I gotta throw my props at Spamassassin which catches over a hundred
spam for me each day.
Spam is the only mail I get...makes me feel part of something greater than I.
And the first thing the story about the spam-battling startup does is to load some popup advertising.
Wonderful.
I gotta stop reading Spam. My dick is 354 feet long and it is attracting far too many Linux hippies. :-(
It is an ancient spamfilter
And it stoppeth one in three
By the long domain list and pattern match
Now wherefore stopp'st thou FREE XXX PICS
The hotmail's doors are open wide
And I am OFFERING OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE $$$$$
The guests are met, the preference set
May'st hear the merry INCHES ADDED TO YOUR PENIS

No, I long ago suggested spam licenses where we get to go out and give each spammer a bright orange flow in the dark permanent eartag, complete with animal tracking collar. Then we can heard them up and stampede them over a cliff or something.

"700 per person this year. "
are you kidding me... my hotmail acct gets over 100 a day... At least I know for every week I keep that e-mail address some lucky guys doesn't get spam for a whole year... But then again he isn't going to get his college degree from a non-acredited college or meet girls that just turned 18 and decided to put a webcam in their shower... and let's not forget the 1000s I'm gonna make when this african prince moves all his money into US banks.
Your mammas flamebait.
This is unsolicited bulk/commercial/junk email, it is not Spam and these are not Spamer's, Spamer is a proper surname, my surname.

Yes, my name really is Martin SPAMER;
Yes, it really p!$$ me off when people abuse my name;
Yes, it does cause me no end of grief;
Yes, I've heard all the wise cracks before;
No, I don't find them funny.
No, I refuse to be bullied into using an alias, how would you feel if I equated your name with thieving scumbags.
So if you wish to get on my bright side, do not use the term Spam or its derivatives use the term(s) unsolicited [ commercial | bulk | junk ] email.
thank you.

In short, the spammers are advertising... to themselves!

Is the plural of "spam" really "spam"?
No, you have to repeat it.
E.g: "Spam, spam, spam, spam; spam, spam, spam, spam; lovely spam, wonderful spam..." (etc.)
(You really need the Vikings to appreciate this).
