Where's Sanford Wallace Now?
capt.Hij writes "There is a story at Fosters about Sanford Wallace who is described as once being the 'King of Spam.' The story describes how he made lots of money in the early days of the internet but got tired of fighting the spam fighters. He is now the owner of a night club in New Hampshire. Here is how he describes his life now: 'Back in the day, I used to make lots of money surrounded by computers. Now, I make lots of money surrounded by beautiful women.'" If "Sanford Wallace" doesn't ring a bell, you need to read some old stories.
Until there is some form of "allowable" vigilantism, spam will continue to increase. I once tried to get a particular spammer to stop bombarding me with messages...and eventually, he call my ISP and said I was harassing HIM...and of course HIS spam did not stop. I tried everything I could find, from contacting his ISP to trying to contact the people he was an "affiliate" for...nothing worked. That's one thing that an anti-spam bill should allow...even if we can't track down their servers in China or Thailand, we can darn well find the home of the original criminals, which are almost always in the US...and have a nice friendly conversation with them.

Description:
Plum Crazy is a Bar/Pub that has 2 bars with 15+ beers on tap. It also has pool tables and a dance floor. There is street parking available.
Review:
Great bars if your into drunken reprobates, and women with teeth you could count on one hand. Dance floor wreaks of fromunda cheese (fresh nightly). Overall, an experience I can only rank up with alien abduction, or a visit to the local church for "confession" with a priest.
So Sanford can't run a good club, either.
Actually, Wired News did this story two weeks ago.
