"...we'll fight them at the routers, we'll fight them on the backbone, we'll fight them at the ISP, we'll fight them at the firewall; we shall never surrender."

I'd love to meet that spammer...

I'd probably do that too if I were an astro-truffer for a sleazey spammer, instead I'm going to down-load the linux version of the bluefrog client and connect it to my spam account and let it run. In fact I'm probably going to engage in activities designed to get those accounts on as many spam lists as is humanly possible. I've got accounts at yahoo and gmail that get about 10 spams for every legit email, maybe I can get the clutter down to the point where they'll actually be usable again.
