As my new email address (Third change in 3 years) slowly makes the rounds and begins to be overwhelmed with spam, I am wondering when Crack Hack commandos will be called in to track down and disable the servers where spam originates. If ISPs had to rebuild their servers often enough they would naturally come to the conclusion that it costs more to do business with a spammer then not. That is the only way to get rid of it. And for those companies that have their own T1s and such would find the same thing out. You can't profit if you are constantly rebuilding your equipment. We all know that anit-spam legislation not only doesn't work, but actually encourages spammers since now they can show legallity for their actions. And in case any spammers are reading this, "Yes, my penis is growth."
