Spammers Sue Anti-Spam Groups

SuperBanana writes "The Register reports in a story today that spammers have banded together under the name EmarketersAmerica.org to sue various anti-spam groups- days before a large conference on spam hosted by the FTC(which will be attended by many spammers). Anti-spam groups think the timing is not by coincidence, but believe the move may backfire because they will be able to countersue and get access to spammer's internal documents. By the way, if you're wondering who these guys are, check out Spamhaus's directory of top spammers."

    No, there's nothing stock about stock car racing.

    Back through the 1970s there was some stock type stuff (not very much though), but now the cars are basically the same. A part of that was because Chrysler was winning too many races. No one buys Chrysler, so Joe 6-Pack would get annoyed because it wasn't Ford vs. Chevy. So NASCAR was losing the audience. NASCAR kept changing the rules to keep Chrysler from winning so eventually Chrysler left.

    It is pretty close to your ideal of watching identical cars making left turns. I believe Ford left too although there's Ford titled bodies running Chevy engines. It's not much of a sport to watch Chevys make left turns for 2 hours.

    F1 is a "gentleman's sport" and the guy who's winning the race will pull back on the last lap to let someone else win. I've seen Ferrari drivers do that to let their teammate win. That's annoying, too. All though their engines are a lot more technological.

    Road racing is pretty good. There's stock based cars in that.

    I like vintage car & motorcycle racing. Most of the cars are rich guys taking their cars out for laps while a few actually race. I've heard that the guys who race are told not to come back though because cars on the tracks can be worth millions. Vintage motorcycle racing is good because those guys race and there's not many people just out for laps.
