[NCLUG] Proposal

[Michael Riversong]

What's really amazing is how stupid these spammers can be.  I subscribe 
to Direct Marketing News (due to attempts to start a business selling 
music CDs) and recently they had a very interesting report.  A big 
spammer was caught and up on charges for mail fraud, selling "Herbal 
Viagra".  It came out in court documents that he had recently done one 
campaign involving sending out 10 million spam messages.  His total 
commission:  $360.  At that rate, these creeps will kill themselves off 
eventually.

Oh, and another report detailed some FCC hearings on the matter, during 
which some spammers actually showed up and tried to defend themselves.  
A LOT of security had to be called in, and at one point a commissioner 
had to physically separate a spammer from one of us.
