A Plea Across The Ether

There's a reason why spyware and spam keep literally popping up on the Internet. It is because someone, somewhere is falling for it. Someone really believes that they are the contest winner, that the fortune of an African prince is waiting for them in an offshore bank account, that their penis can be expanded to colossal proportions through a series of pumps and tubes. I don't know who this someone is, but he is giving the merchants of spam enough of a success rate to keep their foul art profitable. I call him the Global Village Idiot and I want him bound, tarred and feathered. In whatever order. Barring that a head of a major spam organization should be publicly hanged as a warning and example. Slowly, like my computer when infected with spyware. If the many should be punished for the one, the one should be punished for the many. I realize I have no extralegal jurisdiction to enforce my whims--yet--so I all I can do is make a humanitarian appeal. If either the Global Village Idiot or the Pablo Escobar of spam is reading this, please report to the nearest woodshed and commit hara-kiri.
