As more and more spammers are arrested,
prosecuted and sued under
state and federal anti-spam
statutes, there's one thing you can count on: Someone, somewhere,
will invariably call the targeted spammer a "spam king."
It
seems the bulk e-mail industry has more kings than a pinochle deck.
But who is really the king of kings? The following 10 spammers are
all heavyweight contenders for the crown.
Half of them have
done time or are still guests of the federal
government.
Two are dead. Most of the
rest have been fined millions by the FTC and/or private companies for
their misdeeds.
Which one truly deserves the title of king?
Read on to find out.
On a side note... MSNBC has earned its own
title from
me. The most annoying pop up ridden, bug infested website ever. I
have never seen a website so devoted to making money off their
readers! Are you listening MSNBC? It really is a pathetic attempt.
You cant even read their articles because you are assaulted with
dozens of popups when you enter the site and then further assaulted
with popups that hover over where you are trying to read. This is
really pathetic. Cant you just make a website and let people read
what you have written? You already have the top, bottom and both
sides littered with your garbage advertising, must I also click on
your stupid ads just to read an article?
--ok rant over-- :)
What
I was trying to
say is that anyone who has been on the internet in the last 10 years
or uses email is probably well aware of the infinitesimal amount of
spam. It really is getting annoying. I am going to be writing a few
more articles today about spam specifically. You might not even be
aware of the extent of the problem!

Shane, very true about msnbc. When money talks, I guess they'll quite with the spam if their traffic goes down. Anyways, thanks for starting the Wisconsin Blogging group. It's been a pleasure
No problem. Did you notice I posted something there the other day? I was thinking we could use it for good localism posts or something to that effect. Or WRA news.
Uggh MSNBC you spammy devil!
