You are reciving this email because we are having some trouble with an infamous company (http://spamcop.net) who seem to be hell bent on destroying not only my business but many other legitimate website owners and email list operators.
The email (sent through spam software, as evidenced by the anti-Vipul's-Razor garbage in the subject line) goes on with allegations of SpamCop fraudulently forging spam complaints against "legitimate operators" of "opt-in mailing lists" (funny, I don't remember opting in to this guy's mailing list) and "taking away our freedom of speech" and causing "financial disruption to companys who have invested years of hard work" for calling on right-minded internet users to lobby their ISPs to use a spam filter which lets through anything with an unsubscribe link (as that must be legitimate "opt-in" mail, right?).
Then, if that wasn't enough to persuade you, the patriotic consumer, to abandon SpamCop, it drops this bombshell:
Julian haight spamcops CEO is rumoured to have conections with Al-Quada, one of the most disruptive terrorist orginisations on earth. hes specialty is cyber terrorism. which disperses highly needed homeland security funds by rendering multi million dollar industrys unprofitable.
haights main motive is the perversion of American free enterprise.
Gee, if that's the case I'd better stop using SpamCop. Not only am I foolishly cutting myself off from worlds of financial and anatomical opportunity, but I'm Helping The Terrorists Win. I didn't realise the penis-pill industry was such a champion of truth, justice and the American Way.
Good to see that SpamCop is pissing them off. Oh, and one word of advice: if starting a whispering campaign against an anti-spam service provider, sending spam is probably not the most credible way to begin.
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson said that.
Julian gets a shitload of spammer attacks; I think that's a sign he's doing something right ;)
PS: the "hashbuster" stuff you reckon is anti-Vipul's Razor, is actually intended to get around similar systems deployed at AOL, according to one spamtool's documentation ;)
Ironically, there may have been some real Al Qaeda netwar in the past few days: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=8576_Al_Qaeda_Attacks_Blogosphere
Ahh, out in the Badlands. I'm just wondering what would happen if comment spammers decided to target LGF and other high-traffic weblogs manually, rather than pissing about with bots and the barely-read 90% - from the MT-Blacklist docs, it seems that they do this to get their Google PageRank up, as if buying some AdWords wouldn't be cheaper.
Or, as Oscar Wilde said, patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.
Riiight. So LGF commentors are not only arseholes, they're also stupid. Have to remember that one.
Don't forget, they eat babies too.
SpamCop rocks, I hope they shut all of you down. For all of the email crap full of barely 18 year old kid porn to the million offers of Viagra and credit consolidation, I hope you and everyone you love dies in intense pain and alone from prostate/breast cancer based on gender.
Get a real job, how about that.
You dumbarse, we're on YOUR side. Personally, normally I wouldn't advocate cruel and unusual punishment, but I'm all for the idea of stripping spammers naked, tying a piece of steak to their genitals, and pushing them into a yard full of ravenous rottweilers.
people still say 'get a real job'? how quaint.
