SPEWS Adds DSL Reports to Block List
Kylow writes "Last year, Slashdot publicized our efforts at DSL Reports to pursue a group of spammers who had spammed our forums. The Slashdot community immediately pitched in to help, and the publicity wiped the sites owned by the spammers off the internet. Fast-forward to today, and the popular yet often draconian block-list SPEWS has added DSL Reports to their blocklist due to the activities of other websites hosted on NAC.net. DSL Reports users are less than happy. This is hardly the first time SPEWS has been accused of going too far."
I can't believe what I'm reading on this site today! Targetted advertising or so called "Spam" is a commercial venture that goes to the very heart of a great American capitalist tradition. IT IS YOUR DUTY AS A GOOD CITIZEN TO READ ALL THE SPAM IN YOUR INBOX.
The cold war may be over, but does the term "Economic downturn" mean anything to you? We need Americans to buy herbal remedies (many of which are extraordinarily effective) and penis extenders, to consume, consume, consume before our great country becomes yet another footnote in some future history book, PROBABLY SCRAWLED IN SOME CHINESE PICTOGRAM. Is that what you want? DO YOU? ANSWER ME??
Support your country. Reject communism. Read spam.

Wow, that is the single best description of Spews ever. I'd buy you a beer, if you were in the same place and liked beer.
