Re: OT: Spammers Vs Mail::SpamAssassin and the Winner Is...

This is another endless war.

Our world is created like this from the very beginning, evil power and good power are balanced. Any win or lose are just temperary. Both sides have been trying very hard to win through out the human history. A person's cleverness is simply not related to his/her value system at all.

It might sound negative, but truely this kind of endless war might actually be the ultimate hidden power that pushed the human being advancing. A world without the competition between good and evil, might simply stop, deadly stop.

This is another endless war. Agreed. Another way to look at it is simply that the entropy of a system always increases. Sort of like the clutter in a college student's dorm room. Of course we simply add to the entropy by trying to fight it :-) "Ex libris un peut de tout"	[reply]

This is another endless war. Never say that to a man who admires Bismark, Nietzsche, Frederick the Great, William T. Sherman, and Gen. George S. Patton. I've been using tools to filter out spam, but one kept getting through, as if they knew what I was filtering for. So, I pinged them and noticed they were using a Windows server. I captured a bunch of MS virii (easy to do with OS X), sent them to their e-mail accounts, and suddenly, they quit spamming me. Evil, yes, but I do try to use my evil for good purposes. If I had my way, I'd go after spammers with such vim and determination that the Roman destruction of Carthage would seem like a Bears/Lions game in comparison. -- tbone1 Ain't enough 'O's in 'stoopid' to describe that guy. - Dave "the King" Wilson	[reply]
