"Martin Roth's computer erupts with the sound of gunfire whenever it detects
and kills incoming spam. Each shot is another small victory in his battle
against junk e-mailers.

"They've ruined my Internet," said Roth, a self-employed computer consultant.
"It wasn't like this in the beginning and I'm not going to take it.""

"He devotes hours here each week as a volunteer member of SWAT, the Spam
Wranglers Action Team, hunting for spammers and trying to shut them down. His
aim: an Internet where you only get the commercial e-mail you asked for."


Action, reaction.

Salut,
Josep, VW Driver :)
