AOL spammer gets two years in the slammer

Anonymous Coward

hmm. 

Coat

Shouldn't that be:

spam scam sting slings scammer in slammer.

or perhaps:

spam scam sting secures slammer for scammer.

Just a suggestion. I'll get me coat.

"for more than two years" 

Why so short? And why has the author chosen to write it like it's a lot.

It isn't, and it isn't anywhere enough for anybody caught committing such a serious and all-pervasive nuisance to everybody.

Therefore, the piece should have been written along the lines of "was awarded a miserly sentence of just ..."

Those of us who run Internet mail servers would prefer that spammers were sent not to jail, but to the slaughterhouse, where their heads would be pounded flat with wooden mallets.

When these motherf*ckers spend all day stealing from millions of other people (and bragging about it on a regular basis), jail is too good for them. Unfortunately, bleeding hearts like you have convinced the Government to offer them mercy.
