feather in their cap
I have to congratulate them on doing this. It isnt necessary for them to go this far but it is applaudable that they go to the extent of trying to get people prosecuted.
And yes I know a lot of people are going to flame on about the system being swiss cheese etc. But at least they are doing something to get these guys nailed. It might actually make some up and comming spammers sit up and think before doing this as they might be prosecuted and convicted and also identified which is what the spammers are hiding behind.
Spammers work on the premise that nobody can catch or identify them. Show a couple of pictures wrldwide in the news and the message will get through. It will also make them difficult to hire, if employed in IT? But then who would want a spammer working for their company?
