How\'s your SPAM?
Just for interest, how has your SPAM been running lately? No, not the worm stuff, but the 'enlarge this' and 'Make$$$' and such.
Personally mine has dropped to nearly nothing.
Here's a short blurb from Slashdot:

lump writes "A notorious spammer, based in New Zealand, who had his name and other personal info released first in a national newspaper, and then on the web, has shut down his operation, citing harassment. What interests me about this case is that, in the 5 or 6 days since he has supposedly stopped operating, I personally have had one (1) spam email, to an address which had previously averaged around fifty per day. Colleagues report a similar reduction in spam. All I can say is 'excellent.' Hate to say it, but in this case, vigilante type action seems to have had the desired result. This needs to be publicised, as anything which slows down spam can only be a good thing."

Be nice if this slackening in SPAM holds, but I'm sure someone will jump in to fill the void. *sigh*
