It’s pretty crazy how completely amoral spammers are, as demonstrated by this capitulation letter from monkeys.com, and this one from compu.net. There’s also this article at PCWorld.com reporting the incredibly strong correlation between virus infected machines and spam. Both have been driven off by spammers DDoSsing them repeatedly.

Somebody, anybody, please, beat him in the election next year. I’d goddamned take Arnie over Shrub in a fragile Austrian heartbeat, if it is the only way to keep Shrub out of office. Here is Bush’s speech today to the UN, where he shows exactly how much of a morally bankrupt prat he is next [...]
