A Day with an ISP Spam Investigator

    No, spam can be turned into a work of art or literature. But then, so can any other kind of turd.

    Oh, and it's not censorship. He's not a government or publisher. The spammer can find other places to publish his work other than my mailbox. (Just like wannabe painters can't exhibit in my living room.)
