I hate SPAM as much as the next guy but I'm not sure that this is the right 
approach...

NEW YORK (AP) - Escalating the war on spam, a California company wants to let 
thousands of users collaborate to disable the Web sites spammers use to sell 
their wares.

A leading anti-spam advocate, however, criticized Blue Security Inc.'s Blue 
Frog initiative as being no more than a denial-of-service attack, the technique 
hackers use to effectively shut down a Web site by overwhelming it with fake 
traffic.

"It's the worst kind of vigilante approach," said John Levine, a board member 
with the Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial E-mail. "Deliberate attacks 
against people's Web sites are illegal."
