Serves him right. If I wasn't so lazy I'd join the effort.

And the bastard has the gall to try to sue the retaliatory spammers. He whines that it's "harassment"; what the fuck does he think his mountain of automated spam represents to the rest of us?

Bah, the "retaliatory spammers" are only trying to help the economy! Clearly Mr. Ralsky is well-off. Thus he has the funds to purchase a good number of goods, such as penis enlargers, viagra and pictures of hot underage Asians! And if for some reason he doesn't want these advertisements, he needs only opt-out of them.

If he does attempt to sue on the basis of harrasment, methinks there should be a class-action suit against his company. While he may get $1,000 out of the counter-spammers if he wins, he could be found liable for millions.

And you know there are lawyers already circling this one......

He didn't *start* it, but he sure as fuck got filthy rich off of it. And he's *evil*, too... look at the original interview. He wants people merely browsing the net to be surprised by some goddamn pop-up that "bypasses firewalls", etc. Imagine if you were playing a game and this fucker's spam pop-ups booted you out.

Yeah. He deserves what he gets.

Tell me about it, I got some spam just today when I was in the middle of typing a very long, and concentrated set of paragraphs trying to communicate with someone, and that just derailed my train of thought....

I really wonder about the ones that try to make you download the Arabic or Chinese support files from windows. Or the fact that I will get pegged by three rapid fire messages that are indenticale. Also they use fake name entry's so you can't flame form them, or otehrwise blast them. Of course ICQ & AIM spam are really bad too.

Might explain why I don't messenger that often anymore too.
