ok, whoops, that makes no sense after i edited the original post.
on the daily show tonight they did an interview with a famous spammer by the name of scott richter. they got his e-mail address part way through the interview and posted it up on the TV while they were talking. i decided to e-mail him.
i was thinking about that as i watched. but i said "there are probably 10s or 100s of geeks doing that right now. and i dont want to give that fucker my email address incase he doesn't already have it."
that guy was such a twat. he acted like people actually want spam... "high volume email" or whatever. what a douche.
I get hundreds of SPAM a week with "names". Who's real names are these and how do they (the spammers) get them? Are they randomly generated fictitious names or stolen? If they are fictitious...what if I meet someone with the same name and they want to correspond by email. Well, then my spam filter would remove them...then what?
If I ever saw MY name pop up on one of these I'd sue the living shit out of the sender...using my name to sell penis enlargers will ya?! Like I'd want anyone with a cock is big as mine...
The government should start rounding up spammers and send THEM to Guantanamo Bay... scumbags. I'd rather release a few of the non-combatant types held there on iffy information, and hold the spammers without charge... three years at Gitmo for every year you spent spamming people.

Now you are talking. Zero tolerance.

Unfortunately, spamming spammers only hurts the overall network and any innocent users on nearby systems.
SPAM is the scourge of modern society... right behind Ebola, Mad Cow Disease and Avian Flu. Come to think of it, it might actually be *worse* than Avian Flu.

Mmmmmmm Spam Musubi (Spam Sushi for those who have never lived in Hawaii).
I'd concure with this because my inbox has been overloaded while I've never had the avian flu. What I hate most about this crap is I do my best to not give out my private e-mail yet still it finds its way to these chuckel-heads.
Mail's spam filter works very nicely indeed for me (~50 spams/day on average, 95%+ hit rate, no false positives). Oddly, I get almost no spam on my Hotmail account, apart from legit. mailing lists I've forgotten to unsubsribe form.
