Spam Archive opening FTP service December 4

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the why-would-you-save-this-crap dept.

Saint Aardvark writes "The FTP archives for spamarchive.org will be opening on December 4, according to this Wired article. But there already appear to be some archives available." I tried saving my spam for awhile just for giggles, but seeing that file grow to 100+ megs made me so angry I had to delete it. Currently getting ~200 spam every day, and now often they attach images so they are 100k+. Yay Internet!

    I use the Manson Method of spam collection.. lure in needy and childlike spammers.. brain wash them into never asking me again, and send them out into the world to assasinate all their unconverted counterparts..

    I tried doin a similiar thing with koolaid.. the spammers just tried to sell it on the corner for $50.00 as a penis enlarging elixor

    lets see someone steal THAT 'murder tactic'..

    Some of us have been on Usenet since long before that meant we were "asking for it". That damage can't be undone.

    It's not that hard to change email address... ;)

    Even if i dont SEE them they are still a network resource drain.

    Oh pulease. $0.0000001 per email? That's a whole $0.00002 a day! Give me a break.

    You didn't answer what your job is, so I can't further attack your job as useless (and not the fault of the spammer).
