Lycos Pulls Vigilante Anti-spam Campaign

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."

Guns won't go away. Arming the honest citizenry will lower their use and lower crime overall, as criminals realize that the chances of catching a bullet for attempting a crime have gone up exponentially. Hitler, Stalin, and Mao agree: an armed populace is a dangerous populace. What's sad is that Norway heavily resisted the Nazi's during WW2. That would be next to impossible for them to do today with a disarmed populace.
