# Maybe, maybe not
but it makes me feel better, anyway.

A few years ago, I used to track down spammers and report them to their ISPs. Quite a few got their accounts cancelled. It was more a pastime for me, than anything else.

That was a while ago. However, anyone who is interested in that type of activity should check out S.P.U.T.U.M.

# Ah ok.
I am mighty interested in this, as I had to change ISP because I was getting 200+ emails/day which were spam.

# I take my hat of to you sir
Unlike the rest of us who use the interweb for porn and b3ta, you do good :)

I do my bit, I setup 5 lil "suicide" boxes and signed up for loads of newsletters + spam type things. Then I clicked a button, and it added all the spam I got on those boxes to a special spam directory or something.

I like to think it helped :D
