RE: OFFTOPIC: Spam.

I don't know, Kevin. Perhaps DEATH is too good for these spammers.

Why don't you just have a triple no foam latte, go sleepless for six nights and think about it a bit more? 

You may decide to join a little band of we DBAs who have decided to travel to Eddy Haskell's house tonight with torches and buckets of oil.

If the police won't do anything about this, maybe we concerned citizens can.

Yours in Bandwidth Vigilance,

Those are all very excellent points there Charlie, but if this is how angry you get when you get spam I would hate to see what you are like when something really bad happens.  Give me a break already, go ahead and get some proof of all of those laws in all of those states, then go ahead and try and find a halfway decent lawyer who would actually take it to court. Good lord!!  Bandwidth, right, what do you have a 56k modem, please. Tresspass of chattel, what idiot let that slide, it's email for crying out loud.  Hey, in that line of thinking the next time I see a sign on the side of the road I am going to freak out, or better yet the next time one of those telemarketers calls me I am going to get all of their information and prosecute them, their company, there family, all of their friends, and their dog!!   At least the damn thing was about something useful, like training to be an Oracle Certified Professional.  At least it was something useful, it wasn't about new and improved laxatives or something of that nature.  Jeez, try and relax

Do you mean that other than the FACT that this SPAMMER directly violated his contract with both @HOME and INSYNC.NET; who is his ISP?

Do you mean other than the fact that this LUSER consumed MY bandwidth, MY disk storage, & my CPU cycles without MY consent to deliver his SPAMvertizement?
Such activity has been successfully prosecute for THEFT by conversion and trespass of chattel.

Do you mean that other than the fact this SPAM violated the laws of CA, CO, TX, VA & WA?

Now if you condone such behavior, I'm not sure what that says about you.
