Arrrggghhh! -- 8:28 am CST, Update by The Master

Okay, you MUST be able to tell that A.T. is away from his machine this week-because I'm gonna rant right here.

Does anybody else around here wish there was a law allowing people to hunt down and destroy spammers with extreme prejudice? I'm absolutely SICK of having to pump 30 emails a day through SpamCop (excellent service-even though ISPs whine like crazy about it) in a vain attempt to reduce the volume. Pardon me while I send the contents of my in box to SpamCop. Jeez.

J.t.Qbe rants: Destroy all spammers. Get rid of them all. Last night I ran at least a dozen emails through SpamCop. I don't care that it took 20 minutes. If I can hurt them, I will. I think my favorite is was "Pay $50 to learn which email systems can be used as relays," or "60 million email addresses for $149. . . To be removed from our mailing list, reply to this email." Uh huh. On the upside, a number of states are allegedly passing laws which allow you to sue spammers, and some have even collected on it. I'll look for details and post them later.

A.T. Hun comments: Sorta like I had to explain to my inlaws today why someone sent them a link to a pr0n website on the first full day on ICQ. Morons. I think that the only fitting punishment for such folks is an acetylene torch to the face. Slowly and painfully, of course. A carrot peeler might work in a pinch too.
