Unfortuntely the same can be said about some anti-spammers
today (while there are several honorable exceptions) as I can
testify from an on-going breakin by a juvenile. Feel free
to email me if you want an example or like to help. These
anti-spammer hackers are lower scums than all the spammers
I've encountered. The spammers have never destroyed
information (yet).
And we are not even close to being spammer friendly.
Isn't it always easy to generalize and find scapegoats
instead of treating every case as unique?
