Amen brother.

Where's the e-recruiting station? I wanna join the fight. I can get some 
friends overseas to join the war too (also tired of spam).

Distributed-war against spam?

Maybe we can set-up a Linux daemon to "fight" spammers (spamward). There are 
many Linux users that are also tired of spam. Just think: one [e-mail | ping 
| name-your-method]  a minute directed to a single spammer box, times [the 
number of usrers of this spamward] amounts to a pretty big hit. Then, you 
switch target every hour.

I say that in one month, spammers will be down to their knees.

Should we keep developing this idea?
