We'll more likely make progress on the "judicial" side by finding a gung-ho DA who wants to get famous by enforcing the *existing* laws - I seem to recall one up in NY.. ;)I think legislative should not be take to mean only US! There is work on the tough law in Canada, Europe and other countries. And as US congress begins to understands that it "you can spam" law does work, the replacement will be thought and quite possibly the laws found then in other countries will serve as good basis for it. On the less serious note ... I've been saying it for years - there's a *really* quick fix to the spam problem. Since some of these spammers have millions of $$$, they will hire their own <insert another nationality> goons to make sure ISPs and their goons don't bother them. So did I hear somebody mention spamwar recently on this list? :) Squeamish? Oh bother. OK, so we hire lawyers instead. Less bloody, but it takes longer and costs more.... Makes me wonder where the term "bloody laywers" came from if above is true :) -- William Leibzon Elan Networks [email protected]
