Reading that was almost as much fun as going offroading... almost..[OT] flattened spammer nads.

Yes it only takes them 3 years or more to get the crooks. And even then it almost always ends in nothing more than a promise to stop and refund of the few dollars the spammer has in his bank account. Yes, let's spend thousands of dollars to get a 16 million dollar settlement against a relatively off-the-radar spambag like Howard Carmack who can barely afford a Happy Meal. And the worst, most well-known crooks like Ralsky and Empire Towers and Marin and others are still ignored by authorities.
I have to hope they are working those as well. :/
Personally I'd love to pull the trigger on Ralsky and ilk. If it wasn't for that pesky legal issue.

Actually, if you'd care to write a good Windoze virus, I could turn you in, and we could split the reward Bill Gates is offering for virus writers...
Many of the viruses and trojans out there these days are for use by spammers. Bust the spammers and you can probably get the authors.
twaldron did pass the time by typing:
"Honest Your Honor, I was just shooting to defend my email box."
Yep, that would work... :]
What is conspicuously missing from applicable laws is any death penalty provision.
