I agree.

A month or two ago, I received over 1,000 copies of that virus. That is "one thousand." I own a couple of domain names, and the spammer/virus jerk used one of them as a "sent from" email address. So I received tons of "bounced back" emails.

I use a Mac, and so I won't get that virus, and I use spam filters, so most go into a separate mailbox. But it's still a huge hassle. I've saved most of them, in case they catch the guy. I'm planning on filing a lawsuit against him for misrepresentation, etc. Seriously.

Seriously.


When contemplating what should happen to hackers/spammers, I recollect
an old article that I read about alarms for motorcycles.

The article mentioned that your hard-core Hells Angels types preferred
silent alarms for their Harleys.
I've had to examine my soul in contemplating what I'd do if I ever had some sort of
"silent alarm" that would give the address of the spammer living a few blocks away.

OK, I'd call the FBI, but only after fantasizing how delicious it would
be to deal out a bit of real-world justice to one of these evil pencil-necked geeks.
