Blue Security incorporated came up with an innovative way to fight spam. You signed up for thier service , then they would ask spammers to stop sending you email. These requests were, of course, ignored, so Blue security would send them again and again and again. Thousands of times per day in fact. They basically spammed the spammers with requests to stop spamming. Many of the spammers gave in and reomved Blue Security cusomters from thier lists. One of the major spammers, from Russia, fought back with one of the largest Denial of Service attacks perpetrated so far. In order to avoid an all-out cyberwar Blue Security has closed down thier website and thier service. You can read all about it here.
That is awesome
You are the uber geek, which I know you will take for the compliment it's meant to be. :-)
