It does work!

The antispam efforts that blue uses are both ethical and effective. This turkey thinks he can scare us into letting him spam us due to this illegal attack, but instead it just making everyone angrier. All this is going to do is guarentee more people will join Blue!

"It's well-known that "do not spam" lists are ineffective - the spammers just use the list to find more people to spam. Sorry, but it's just not effective."

Blue is more than a "do not spam list", its "do not spam our people or we will 1. report you to the proper authorities 2. report you to your ISP and 3. swamp you with opt-out requests"

And as far as your statement about "innocent victims goes" this attack is geared specifically at the users of blue. And if everyone used the rules I do for my antispam ( http://www.pengdows.com/Privacy.aspx ), most of these spammers couldn't get thru anyhow, and those who do are easily identified.
