Most people use the words psychopath/sociopath as vernacularisms. I think Gadi is looking to more of a legal or clinical definition. If spamming is a mental illness, don't the spammers deserve our sympathy -- and our support with AA-like programs? It's not evil; it's a disease. I could see Rich K starting a home for destitute (but reformed!) spammers. Well . . . maybe not. -- Ned _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
