Declan, tonight I dined with a major spam fighter and he said he had direct confirmation of the fact that the vast bulk of spam is sent by a small number of parties, perhaps 200 at most, and the bulk of that by a core group of about 20.<<

This from Politech. The author goes on to suggest legal action against the 200. Of course, this is fascist, counter to the US's first amendment. A far more moral solution is to fund AP against the spammers, including some due diligence to assure that the future corpses are in fact the ones desired. Consider a penny per spam per person. Consider only a thousandth cooperation-rate by spammees. Bush (et al)'s bounty on Osama et al. would pale in comparison --and actually be acted on, instead of it being a badge of honor for the targeted. -------- That was a *live* one, George.
