Yeah, I read the article; must say I'm not to keen on these tactics - imho this just starts a sort of weapons-race between the good vs the bad, but then one asks oneself: in the end who are the good guys?

Too agressive in my opinion; they could end up being sued themselves, dont they?

P.S. By the way: At first I misread your topic; thought it was about my revenge; slammers payback ;D

That would more or less look like this:
(Pic is from an accident between two trucks in Holland today; one carrying a load crates of (Grolsch) beer. Gerardwil must be in :o shock:o by now! ROFL;D -and no, officer, I wasn't anywhere near that scene!8))

I think this is a pretty good idea. In my eyes it serves them well - don't you think so too ?
Let's them have a taste of their own poison.

Revenge is sweet at times....

What wrong with vigilante :lurking:

Anyway, I remember when my first spam problem started, it was on an old pc with a 56k connection and it was horrible reading my mail.
