Interesting comments.  Were this posted elsewhere and by a different
author it may be said to have been posted by one of the spammers who
have been upset by BlueSecurity.  Whose side are you on?

Disregarding the foregoing entirely, this little episode has caused more
reaction from the spammers than anything I can remember in a generation
of interwebby experience.  There are lessons to be learnt from it and it
should not be summarily dismissed in the way that you have done.  This
is something that to ignore is to do so at your own peril.  Your choice
of course, as ever.

I wish them every success in their fight against spam and if I can help
I will.
