I do sooo hope this isn't an April Fool.

According to ElReg (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/03...king_bankrupt/), Microsoft have helped the New York Attorney General and consumer champion Eliot Spitzer sue spammer Scott Richer (owner of OptInRealBig.com) into bankruptcy.

And to think various lobbying groups said the american Anti Spam laws would not work.

All I can say it it's about time. Hopefully, a few more spammers will go bankrupt, and the rest will start to get the message.

Probably won't happen, but it's a nice thing to hope for.
