#1 Spammers are second to jihadis on my list.
Of course, it is a given that someone else will take over the spam biz space that Soloway involuntarily vacated.

They need to get life sentence when caught, to discourage potential spammers. Noose would be probably more appropriate, though.

#2 Maybe as a warning we could just tear out all of his hair?

#3 Spam, bad as it is, takes a back seat to malware and spyware. It is a form of vandalism to purposefully inhibit the functionality of an individual's property (i.e., computer) without their consent. That said, spam needs to be outlawed. We have regulations prohibiting junk faxes, so limiting spam email should not be a real problem. It reduces productivity and consumes massive amounts of server bandwidth to the tune of BILLIONS lost per year. Spammers have a special place awaiting them in Hell. I envision them having to wade through and individually delete thousands of junk emails in a desperate search for vital news of an injured loved one.

PS: Great graphic!!!

#4 I would prefer a very slow torture death for this guy.

#5 I demand poetic justice! String him up from the nearest lamp-post with Cat 5 Ethernet cable!

#6 I'd like to see him sentenced to life of deleting emails.

#7 If he's got anything to do with the #(%&#!s who generate the automated spam-coments on blogs (which I have spent several months of my life deleting and/or installing programs to defeat) then I'd like to invoice him for my time spent.

Otherwise, I'm in favor of burning him at the stake... with green wood.

#8 Spammers have a special place awaiting them in Hell.

Community service working in the IRS? Community service in Nigeria? I like the suggestion of burning at the stake, hanging with a computer cable, or deleting spam for the rest of his life.

#9 I'm for the green wood idea. Lord knows I've spent much of my professional and private IT life undoing the damage these idiots cause.

D) All of the above

Think: hanging, drawing, and quartering.

#12 Don't forget to drive a wooden stake through his evil, shrunken heart.
