>How are spamvertizing websites whose links appear in spam "innocent"?

Say you are hosting multiple sites and faithfully monitor your servers to
make sure your clients are not sending spam, and they know it. So they
unknown to you go hire a third party to spam on their behalf and your
services are maliciously attacked with you not knowing anything or being
able to do anything about it. You have no control on what your clients may
have going on elsewhere. Personally if I ever get a complaint with proof
about any of our clients hiring a spam company to spam for a site we host, I
would send them packing in a heartbeat. We already have sent booted 3
clients for this between 1998 and 2002. Nobody needs to attack our servers
with the spamvertizer's web site on them only because he did something
stupid without our knowledge!

The real problem here are the ISP and broadband companies that allow people
to send bulk emails and spam via there services. It's not always the people
that host the spammers website. Whenever you attack the spamvertiizer you're
also attacking his web hosting provider and everyone else they host, and
that is mob mentality IMHO. If you want to attack something in retaliation
(which I fully understand) why not go for the ISP's that are sending the
garbage and if the website is within the same ISP companies IP range, by all
means have at it and get them to! But don't be like the gangsta punks that
don't care who they hit in a drive by as long as they shoot their gansta
rival in the process. Think about it!

As far as posting at the top is concerned, that is a matter of preference
and opinion. Personally I don't like having to pick through everything
trying to read a person's response, but I don't complain about it I either
do it or just ignore the post if it's too much scrolling and trouble. I
suppose I could trim some content whenever I reply but I see that many
people leave the old content and replay in the middle of it addressing each
point separately. So to each their own, but that is not the way I do it.
Secondly not everyone has they email setup to mark what is being replied to
by the > marks. I have to put them in manually because I choose not to setup
my email that way for other reasons.

Happy Holidays,
Ted
