Well, I guess this makes my last two posts pointless. However I still feel
that although participating by running a BOT.Scr could be a rewarding
feeling, I still feel that it could end up being unleashed when it's not
really necessary on innocent web hosts, causing their services to be
degraded when they were in no way condoning spam. I see after reading this
article that Lycos picks out who it targeted, perhaps if they have done
their homework my reasons for thinking this is wrong could also be not
relevant. I think a web host should be advised first and then given a
reasonable amount of time to respond and do the right thing by booting the
spamvetizer, If the host refuses to do the right thing, then so be it, let
the packets flow! :)
