Clobbering Spam

Chalk one up for the good guys. Yesterday, the SEC announced that it has suspended trading of 35 companies that have been accused of stock spam. Spam is an enormous problem for everyone. I have an email address that I haven't even told anyone about yet, nor have I actually used it for anything yet, and it is already receiving spam. Hopefully, the actions of the SEC portend the fall of the leviathan that is spam. We can all do our own part, too. If you haven't already, I strongly suggest you join KnujOn. Join SpamCop. Support Spamhaus. If we all take a tiny, incremental chunk out of spammers, it will be to everyone's benefit.
