Ross, let's write a good Usenet spambot. The ones out there suck because they go through newsgroups alphabetically and post the same crap all at once. Then they get detected and cancelled by assholes like Chris Lewis.

Yeah, those assholes are getting in the way of my first amendment right to spam the fuck out of anyone and everyone I fucking want to!!!! My hero, Larry Flint, says "The price of freedom of speech is tolerance of other people's views.: So everyone can Fucking tolerate as much spam as a spamming robot can be told to spew!!!

A good spambot would cover all unmoderated newsgroups, look for traffic, pretend to follow up on postings from actual people, say something on-topic, and post your message, but vary it randomly, so it's almost never the same.

Dr., this is a stroke of genius!! I think we should start on this immediately! No one would even know it was spam, or a spamming robot!!!

I think we can make a pretty good program. "Cypher punks" don't write code, but we do.

Fuck them if they can't take a joke!!! Let's write some code! I am cc:ing this to a couple others who helped me write the "link following" web-robot I am currently using! Let's get on this usenet thing NOW!!!! Ross =-=-=-=-=-=- Ross Wright King Media: Bulk Sales of Software Media and Duplication Services http://www.slip.net/~cdr/kingmedia Voice: 415-206-9906
