Why block access to your website in an attempt to block spam? Spam

No, I just block netblocks because I don't care about any traffic
from those countries, whose rich spectrum of bogosity is not entirely
spam (though spam is a major part of it). Again, I've received enough
bogus shit from these countries to not care anymore. Scorched Earth.
I have no intention of starting a flamewar with you, so please take
this as constructive criticism, not a throwing down of the gauntlet,
as it were. You repeatedly *spam* this mailing list with requests
for traffic to your "store". I don't think you really understand
what you're doing, or you wouldn't treat your "customers" this way.
I'm not referring to just the countries you've targeted due to spam
issues, but all the bystanders that read this list, caught in the
path of your verbal shrapnel.
I know it's a cliche, but it's true... you catch more flies with
honey than you do with vinegar. If you don't want to be in the
"business of selling information", then don't. Either way, at least
stop spamming the lists. I think we all heard you the first 20 times.
