Mapping the Spam

demaria writes "The folks at cluelessmailers.org have made a map of spam. It shows the relationships among spammers and other entities (legitimate or not), including organizations that track spam, advertises with, shares addresses, emails through, and all sorts of other data. I can't imagine how hard it was to put this together, it looks like a giant circuit design layout, but shows just how big and interwoven the spam problem is."

  1. Quit Moderating My Posts!!! Please! by toupsie · · Score: 2, Troll
    For the record, moderators, I am not Insightful, Informative or Interesting. If I appear to be, it is a complete accident. Just ask any of the college professors that passed me in college to get me out of their programs. I might have posed nekkid in Wired Magazine back in 1995 but that doesn't transfer those labels automatically to my postings.

    Moderating the parent post of mine was just a plain waste of moderation points that could have been used on truely Insightful, Informative and Interesting posts. It wasn't funny or insightful. It was three seconds of brain power.

    Hopefully, Meta-Moderators will correct this waste of moderation points.
