    I got another one of these spam floods again. Some abysmally moronic SOB sent me the same spam over and over every 5-6 seconds for an hour, exactly one hour. 736 altogether. It was probably a bot. It was for some stupid penis enlargement pill. Hotmail was ready to cut me off over my account size. GRRRRRR:mad: Anyway it got me thinking about a somewhat underhanded solution to the spamming problem in the world today. What if someone were to write a virus that did nothing but hinder spammers, deleting email address lists and spamming software, attaching the real IP and user name to outgoing emails, stuff like that. The little worms who spit out the viruses everyday might do society a favor and come up with one that actually helps people. That would be sweet. Imagine if the world woke up one day and spam was suddenly gone? At least for a little while...

      You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.
