My spam botheration level is at its lowest level in two years. That's mostly due to SPAM Assassin courtesy of my webhost and Gmail's spam filters. (Oops, I mentioned Google, again.)

Anyway, it's all a fucking curse. We made sending messages so easy and then littered the web with millions of active email addresses. What did you expect these mass-marketing guys to do? Just sit around and scratch their balls! I must say that they are making millions. (AOL sold a spammer's Porshe earlier this year that it had won in legal battle.) Too bad it's been made illegal to spam here in the USA.

Microsoft, our friendly protector in the sky has also been fighting against spam for sometime now, suing these motherfuckers left and right. That makes me a proud Microsoft customer. So when yesterday, Microsoft filed suit against cheapbulletproof.com, and webhost that "specializes" in catering to spammers' hosting needs, I was both delighted and infuriated that such a service even existed publicly. So to test 'em, I went for a live chat session with their sales department... as a smalltime spammer looking for hosting. Here's what followed:

You're now talking to admin from 'Sales' The topic is : cheaper plans?

admin> Hello how may I help you today?
me> hi
me> I'm just starting my own spam business
me> I'm using my own computer
me> and I got letter from my service provider
me> I was wondering if you have any cheaper plans?
admin> hold please
me> hello?
admin> hi
me> yes
admin> to host
admin> to host
admin> sure
admin> how did you hear about our services
me> from a friend
me> I was told I can buy lists from you too?
admin> we do not sell list sorry
me> ok.
me> that's not a problem
me> what about hosting
me> I only do like a couple of million a day
me> so I dont need that much traffic
me> can I get a cheaper plan than bronze
me> ???
me> hello? anybody there?
admin> sorry
admin> bronze is our base plan
me> ok... there's no contract right?

And then my session timed out, and I regreted not cursing my brains out at this asshole.
