The poor guy I say,
Why don't they arrest all those companies that send us all this junk in our mail (not email) everyday ?
On top of that they waste so much paper, moving of bytes around is probably safer for our planet.

Just a thought

I guess email spam is much more evil, you need to invest a lot time to protect yourself against spam. Just imagine if someone is sending spam via YOUR (not so save) contact form Smiley

I think you're not wrong but this guy is judged twice for several millions and I'm not the guy who close his door, but he is a bad man on the net...
