The great Bernard Shifman case @ http://petemoss.com/spamflames/ShifmanIsAMoronSpammer.html

Have to say it had me rolling. I know the Darwin awards are usually for those that have managed to remove themselves from the gene pool but this guy should be included. Maybe they should add a category for those that permanently remove themselves from the job market. :)

I now begin to understand why the net is getting slower and slower.

Why would any sane person waste the time and energy to devote this mcuh bandwidth to an absolute idiot???

And spam e-mail wastes people time? Not half as much time, I suspect, as creating a web site all about it.

It would be a little more digestable if it was even remotely funny.

What an absolute waste of good server space!

Guys,

I think the Americans call it it "acting out" in therapy (http://www.naturalhealth.org/articles/introtopsychotherapy.htm). For some reason there's a tendency for transference (http://www.fenichel.com/technical.shtml) in people via the internet when the internet is a cause of their problems.

If you don't like this guys one website, have you seen the number of Bloggers (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=web+logs) out there who do the same thing only daily? And I have seen many bad websites (http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/www/boring.html) which are not even in this guys league.

After all, it's just a laugh (http://www.laugh.com/). :D

PS ok maybe you needed to be looking for a bit of light relief in order to truly appreciate it (I was rather stressed on Friday when I first read it :) ).

Hmm. Not sure some of the links from the Bloggers site are appropriate for this search engine forum.

I realise that I may be a little more sensitive than many but I sure didn't appreciate some of them.

Been meaning to ask - what is the marketing budget for this plan of yours? :p
