It's bad because it annoys people. It's good because it makes big $$$. But mainly, I'm against spamming because I don't do UCE myself. I still try to spam search engines, tho

What annoys me the most is when "the big players" do a deal with the likes of level3 or global crossing and spam the shit outta everyone with complete immunity.

If you, Rod, set yourself up as some kind of judge (and jury and executioner), you'll get nothing but headaches. And for what? Even if "adult" spam stopped completely, we're still drowning in non-adult spam.

I think the best idea so far - and most effective - is the Realtime blackhole list. It works! It's all we need! And the guys and gals that run it are (they hope, at least) impossible to sue because no one knows who they are. What's some message board against that??

Edit: I should add that I have been accused of spamming AFF and they refused to send me my check for about $6K until I got them on the phone and explained that they are a pack of idiots for believing some moron saying I have spammed. I had not spammed, and I did get my check. Didn't much like being dragged thru that, tho. Another reason why I personally prefer spam to be fought from the other direction (source rather than target. Too easy to fake otherwise).
