Spam and the Law Conference Report 145
Cowards Anonymous writes "The Guardian has a story about a spam and law conference, recently held by the Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy, in San Francisco.
The conferences are usually attended by anti-spammers, from the major ISPs, and spammers; and are an attempt to bring the two sides together. The article's author notes 'It's oddly intimate, watching the spammers and the anti-spammers mill around each other like this. It feels like a temporary ceasefire in a vicious war that to most of us seems to be a stalemate.'
Also in attendance was infamous spammer Scott Richter, or 'high volume email deployer' as he wished to be called on his recent Daily Show appearance. Surprisingly the anti-spammers didn't tear Richter to pieces with their bare hands."

Where, it might be noted, it became clear he didn't have a whole lot of experience with the "clitorious."
The best was hearing Rob Corddry say "clitorious" back to him, and Richter not batting an eye. Perhaps the solution to getting this guy to stop spamming is to get him some lovin'? Preferably human?

My current total is 18,212 pieces since 11/19/2002. 8,000 of which arrived just since the begining of January. If it wasn't for SpamBayes, I probably would have abandoned email altogether by now. These guys are rubish.

I wonder if Richter is bigger than they expected or will there be a mysterious freak mishap in San Francisco involving rapidly expanding gases in a container when he start his car? All in all he is funny for going ya know...

Man: Mom... I... I'm sorry. I can't hide it anymore. I... I'm a spammer.
Mom: I... was afraid of that. I mean, I suspected but... I just didn't want to find out. Didn't want to be sure. I had hoped... it would never come to this. I'm sorry.
