The problem is that there's big money in SPAM, and, while $10K per message is
significant, I think I like my classic punishment of a dip in a hot solder pot
of about 600 gallon capacity during halftime at the SuperBowl is appropriate.
The problem with that is catching them.

 What we really need is a law that says anyone caught spamming will be
 fined $10,000 per message sent.  Then wait for the first sucker to get
