Our latest list spammer has been traced, located, and
formally scorched.
I -love- sending spammer flames from a my-deja account... it's blocked to
all incoming E-mail (accepts outgoing only), so anything a spammer sends
just bounces right back at them.
Besides the 200 degree C flame to the spammer in question, politely formal
complaints were filed with their ISPs. Granted, I can't recall ever getting
a response from a Korean or Chinese ISP that they toasted a spammer
themselves, but there's always a first time.
I'll advise if I get any type of valid response.
With all the discussion of building your PCBs at home, and the
wonderful VAX wars, I didn't think it was that far off topic :-).
