Internet spammer can't take what he dishes out


Spammer Reaps What He Sows
Gets a taste of his own marketing medicine
Since the Detroit Free Press ran their first story on millionaire spam King Alan Ralsky, anti-spammers have made sure they let him know how little they appreciate his business methods. After Slashdot readers posted his address and even an aerial view of his neighborhood, Ralsky began to get a taste of his own medicine. "They've signed me up for every advertising campaign and mailing list there is," says Ralsky. "These people are out of their minds. They're harassing me."

I have no comment. I would never sign him up for anything.

Reading the first one I actually hate the guy and that's the truth. I endorse anything done against him, short of bodily harm.

I have zero (0) sympathy for this guy. For all the spam we get in emails, he should be receiving that much from us back and then all the tons of snail mail back to him. Now he's infamous, we know where his 3/4 of a million dollar house is. All levels of spam should be sent to this person to the point where he must pay the post office to deliver the tons of spam he gets. I'm all in favor of flooding his server's bandwidth, sending him enough spam he can't find his bills, etc.

The only thing I wouldn't go for is bodily harm, injury or threatening of bodily harm. Just flood him with enough things so he'll piss off enough people and he can't complete his business.
