Amazing

We need to hammer the offenders. No slap on the wrist for a first offense, hammer them. Kids, adults, whatever, hammer them.

To sum it up, hammer them!

I think people that do this should be duct-taped into a rusty cistern and then kicked off a tall building or off the side of a bridge. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

It was almost inevitable. I've heard about using botnets for shady commercial webhosting, but not spam or DDoS for hire.

Just when you get to thinking they've reached the bottom, again, then this starts; a variation of the 419 Nigerian scam. This one could probably be treated as terrorist activity. It's certainly extortion at the least. If one isn't too familiar with emails, and that it's best ignored, it could create a great deal of concern.

People like that don't even deserve to be kicked off the top of a building or over the side of a bridge...cyanide should be placed in the cistern with them, and the hole where the flush handle normally fits through should be taped up. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif

I think you're looking for something like this (first post). I'd quote it, but... this isn't the Underground.
