In Pursuit Of A Spammer

Posted by timothy on from the come-the-revolution dept.

Kyle writes "Over at DSL Reports, We are currently pursuing a spammer from the West Palm Beach, Florida area. This wouldn't normally be news, but we think Slashdot readers may be interested in just how successful we have been. What's more interesting is that the spammer appears to be posting in the thread."

    Using your argument that "your time directly is worth money", all the crap snail mail junk I get should be illegal. It takes my time to pick that stuff out of the mailbox, sort it, and throw it out.

    Unless you are paying by the hour for internet access, spam email does not really directly cost you anything. You can spend your time and effort filtering it, or just ignore it. I have a Tivo so that I can skip TV commercials. I don't read ad circulars in the paper. I rarely even notice billboards on the interstate. Let spam become internet noise and ignore it as much as possible...

    Kids should not see the port spam, but that is easy enough if you turn off images and filter some mails directly to the trash.

    I am not a spammer, and I don't support spam.

  2. Whats worse than constantly reading about SPAM by zymano · · Score: 1, Redundant
    Whats worse? Constantly reading about SPAM prevention or receiving it ?

    God almighty. Quit talking about it and do something for Christ's sake.
