I can't even think of a good example to
compare these spamming
morons to.
Personally, I think CNN Headline News should run "Executions @ 8", where we
line up the spammers, walk down the line with a Colt .45, and put a round
through their face.
Now waitaminit... I disagree... *some* folks might prefer a 9mm... if so,
they should be given the chance to use that instead. Also, I could think of
1 target area that might be preferable than what you suggested...
And you get to enter a lottery for $2 if you want to
be
the triggerman.
That would be the first lottery I ever put money into... and methinks we
could put quite a dent in the national debt...
If that doesn't slow them down, it's hard to
imagine what
else will.
Ditching SMTP for a totally secure (including accountability) protocol is
the *only* way to bring the spam problem under control. A good start is
here: http://cr.yp.to/im2000.html but it's far from complete; and it would
take years to implement fully. Methinks some federal funding should be
allocated -> IMHO it would be better spent there than $400 hammers...
There's just NO justification for their
existence, past, present
or future.
And only a crongresscritter could fail to understand that.
And you expected what? Par for the course, IMNSHO...
