There are just so many facets and angles to this story, it?s

alone who is which. Justin Ellsworth, of Wixom, Michigan, was killed
last month while on foot patrol in Iraq. John Ellsworth, the grieving
father of the 20-year-old Marine, asked Yahoo to please give him
access to his son?s email account. Yahoo politely declined, citing its

First it was spam - the junk email we all know and love to hate.
Then it was spim, which is spam sent by instant messenger (hence the

Over IP (VoIP) connection, another name for which is ?Internet
