Lycos Pulls Vigilante Anti-spam Campaign

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hardly-knew-ye dept.

davidwr writes "Eweek reports that Lycos is scrapping it's anti-spam campaign: 'On Friday, Lycos Europe gave up the ghost, posting a 'Stay Tuned' note on the MakeLoveNotSpam.com Web site it was using to distribute the screensaver. The Lycos Europe home page, which heavily promoted the screensaver all week, was also scrubbed clean of any references to the screensaver.' See previous Slashdot coverage from Nov. 26, Dec. 1, and Dec. 2."

    OT warning: This is why guns shouldn't be allowed to carry. Criminals will always have bigger guns, so I prefer if they have small ones, and I've none. I'd much rather get robbed & beaten than killed.

    Personally I thought the joke was pretty obvious, but I think that a mongoloid in west new jersey didn't get it. On his behalf, I thank you.
