A swift kick in the balls and washing diapers for a year long should do the trick nicely.

I guess there must be one randy old floppy toppie somewhere that keeps giving his credit card details to the Russian Mafia for stuff that never arrives or receives aspirin soaked in blue dye or whatever Vigara is. I just wish someone would get hold of that old toppie's Outlook and permanently delete all our email addresses that he has been feeding to the Russian malware on his PC.

After all that work we are still getting 82% of the spam coming through. It's a great effort and I'm grateful for the massive work done, but are these guys getting nailed on criminal charges, or do they simply regroup and start more spambots?
