This will still work

Several months agao, I wrote a Java program that
did basically the same thing as the Lycos
screensaver. However, my program allowed the
user to choose which site to reverse spam. I
never posted it anywhere because I thought most
people would ignore it or say it was
"unethical". However, I saw that the Lycos
screensaver was popular. This must meant that
Internet users are tire of the useless flutter
in trying to curtail spam. I know thaat I'm FED
UP with spam and that I tried the filtering,
blacklisting techniques only to lose legit email
as well. I also tried complaining to the ISP's
of the spammers and the ISP's of the Spavertised
sites only to get a form reply and later, more
spam.

Spam has been a problem for about 10 years now
and despite all the defensive measures, it is
only getting worse. It is time to try another
tactic - offesive measures.

I have decided to post SpamFryer to the web. It
has the source code embedded in the jarfile, it
is free to modify, and it is free to
redistribute. It will run on any coomputer that
has the Java virtual machine. It can be fond at

ENJOY!
