Four Big ISPs File Six Anti-Spam Suits
ackthpt writes "Wired is carrying news that Microsoft, America Online, Earthlink and Yahoo are filing suits against spammers under the CANSPAM act. They will 'follow the money' to find the perpetrators and shut them down. Suits currently filed against John Does will have actual names attached once subpoenas get the names of the actual persons. I wish them all the luck, as I clean about 500 pieces of drek a day from my mailboxes." Other readers point to coverage from the BBC and from the Associated Press (here's the AP story as carried by the Boston Globe).
Just curious why
what evidence?
His journal in which he bragged about how his Overly Critical Guy account is his separate "troll" account and how he played the moderators in order to gain maximum karma. Of course, once he figured out that moderators were looking at (and regular posters were refuting his outrageous claims with direct links to) said evidence, he figured that he'd nuke the evidence so as not to look like the lying scumbag that he is. That's all. To the people that keep moderating him up: Good job--you're feeding this idiot troll.
See the front page of www.anti-slash.org. You've been had. "Another repost at +5... too easy"
I've been victimized by the anti-slash.org trolls. They saw my +5 post and then claimed it was a repost and had a link on their front page.
Do not mod down a post that someone claims is a re-post unless you see a link to a previous post to prove it. Otherwise you've been trolled!
Check out the "Flamebait" and "Offtopic" in his posting history. The OP really is a repost troll; you can check for yourself. Also, if there's any doubt in your mind about "boobsea" being a troll, what legitimate user puts "boob" in their user name? Also his journal is full of entries about trolling. Take a look, and mod parent down.
OBJECTION, prosecuting attourney is badgering the witness!
Just remember that there is no such thing as a free lynch.
