And it's going to depend on the spammer, let's remember that this is the country that arrested Jon Johansen after bowing to pressure from the MPAA (because they had previously failed to have him indicted in a California court). Another point is that I receive practically no spam from Norwegian companies - it almost all originates in the US. BTW, I love Norway, that's why I live here. -- Andy Ruddock ------------ Senior Software Developer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) PGP Key IDs : RSA(legacy)=0x87A2EE71 RSA=0x9B1B9423 DH/DSS=0xAFAB32A7
