Spammers operate so quickly that by the time you react to a spam outburst,
millions of e-mails will already be banging at mailservers all around the
world and the spammer will already be gone. So, are you willing to pay for

with a better way to keep the Internet clean of spam or STFU.

oppression to develop psychic muscles.
