  1. Spamming the spammers....sympathy? on Lycos Anti-Spam Screensaver Brings Down Spam Sites · · Score: 1
    I personally cant stand the constant daily grind of fighting and dealing with spam. No matter how protected I am, something gets in somewhere.

    The tone of the actual front page post amused me....it had a tone of almost sympathetic reasoning for the SPAMMERS? Come on, seriously, they do so much harm and create so much stress and problems for the average joe, right up to the Admin on a network...why not do something about it instead of waiting for constant back and forth of corporations and companies trying to create some kind of UBER (yes, I used UBER) software they can make millions on (which is their real goal, not just fixing spam).

    I for one, dont like the idea of a group of users directing DDos attacks at valid sites / users, but when it comes to Spam, I guess years of dealing with it has worn down any sympathetic ear I would have otherwise had on the subject.
