Welcome to Peter's Blog1/5/2006OK, some days are better than others. Things on eBay are not selling as well as I'd like, but a few sales are better than none. No new book to write, so I'm just doing whatever needs to be done. 1/6/2006Wow! A spammer was hit with multi-billion damages for using the domain name of an ISP! That feels good, since I've been the victim of this very practice. Sadly, the spammer in my case was located outside the USA, so they are much more difficult to get at. One has to wonder why they do this... The return address is meaningless, they could just put in garbage if they wanted. Instead they forge an existing domain name, and really make that organization angry! Dumb, even dumber if they can be traced to a US company or address! Speaking of spammers, I've always wondered: "just what kind if idiot would buy drugs from a company located in china that spams on the Internet?" Consider this, would you trust your credit card number to this group? If yes, then why not just post it on your web page, and give it to everyone? Then again, let's say that Chinese company actually delivers that 'medication' you ordered... Do you know what it really is? One thing you can be 100% sure of--it contains no useful medication! Maybe sugar, or talc, if you are very lucky, or rat poison if you are are less than very lucky. If you were to actually get medicine (which you asked for, and not something else...) I'd recommend a quick trip to the lottery store--you have some incredible luck.
