I think the "brother" is really the neighbors trying to get a little revenge. Post the URL on/, wait for the server crash and go to sleep with no lights flickering. With people suing each other in my area for annoying light displays,I wouldn't be surprised.
Stating the Obvious: Don't buy from Spam!

ISP Chief on Spam

Being a Web Developer, I do a great deal of business on the web so my addy is everywhere. I would probably get thousands of pieces of spam a day if I didn't use filters. That's insane. I use mailwasher to make e-mail as spam and bounce it back. There are probably more elegant solutions but it sees to have lessened my spam a bit.
I think part of the problem is that some people actually buy from spam. If everyone would refuse to buy anything or from anyone that ever sent bulk email, they'd stop doing it. Why should they bother if it doesn't work? I know people who complain about spam who will actually order from bulk emails! My computer illiterate relatives are always printing out spam for vacations and cell phones to let me read to see if it's legit.
Then again, how popular can these ads be? How many people actually want to enlarge their penis and see "barnyard love" . . . On second thought, I don't want to know. It'd be interesting to see the return rates on spam though.
