Today in the news, some person or persons unknown apparently attempted to beat some sense into a spammer. One has to wonder whether or not this is justice--whether or not willfully contributing to the degradation of the Internet and the lesser evils of irritating the hell out of hundreds of millions of people daily actually adds up to this kind of punishment... I, personally, think that killing the guy was going a little too far, and hopefully their next endeavor will be an Internet-broadcast pillorying instead. Lord knows they wouldn't have to spam to get people to pay to see that... word of mouth alone would probably manage to set new records for viewership on Yahoo and AOL combined. One down, many more to go. |
