SPAM. We all get it. We all hate it. In fact, the staff at eNemesis had to shut off our email notifications because some dumbass decided he was going to SPAM all of us with hundreds of Viagra, Valium, and mortgage offers. I think one of them even offered Link a bigger tit. Just one.

Well, we can rejoice because for once, our government decided to do something good. An arrest was made on Robert Alan Soloway, a well known "master spammer" who is considered to be in the top 20 spammers of the world.

Soloway was arrested on "charges of mail fraud, wire fraud, e-mail fraud, aggravated identity theft and money laundering. Prosecutors say Soloway has sent millions of junk e-mails since 2003 and continued even after Microsoft Corp. won a $7 million civil judgment against him in 2005 and the operator of a small Internet service provider in Oklahoma won a $10 million judgment."

Prosecuters haven't made a final decision on what kind of a sentence they are shooting for, but the consensus is Soloway could spend decades in prison.

This, my friends is a beautiful thing. DEATH TO SPAMMERS! While Soloway is only 1 of 135 people on the Spamhaus Project list that is reportedly responsible for 80% of the SPAM sent out, this should send a return SPAM to all these spammers around the world.

In my opinion, I think all these guys should be executed. Anyone disagree? I didn't think so.

Link - good luck on that tit.

...and let me tell you why...

BECAUSE IT'S A FUCKING INVASION OF MY PRIVACY!!!!

If I want to read your email, and then I choose not to respond because I think your email is shitty, then get over yourself.

You don't need to be all "big brother" and try to spy on me. Oh and I really love the "deletion receipts" too! It's great when I get a notice that says

"ALERT: The sender of this email has such a low self esteem that they need to know if you read their email before you deleted it. Would you like to ruin this miserable prick's day?"

Just so you know, I want to click "yes" every time... I really do. I want to let every single person who does this shit know that they suck. But I don't, because more than wanting to ruin their day controls me, is my urge to deny people like this any forward progress in any domain I see as my own, including my Email Inbox.

That said, the next person who attaches a fucking read receipt to an email they send me is not only going to get the read receipt, but a nice kick in the pants... one suitable for the shittiest of bitches and "small dick" email senders alike.
