Surely most of us believe in making the spammers pay; the problem is finding
the most effective way of making them pay. If we choose the right methods,
they just may decide that they don't want to spew spam any more...
The problem is that harming spammers is illegal; I've heard of people
getting into big trouble for harassing spammers over the telephone, or
using spammers' "1-800" numbers to call them and demand that the spam
be stopped. If anyone else smells some rats being involved in this,
as usual, the rats are our individual taxpayer despising politicians,
as we fail to worship these worthy humble public servants enough by
giving them free lunches, massage parlor services and under-the-table
gold bullion like many businesses and special-interest groups tend to
do.
