| Samizdata I'm seriously considering pitching a detective novel, about the hunt for a serial killer. The unique selling point will be that as the detective homes in on the killer, he gradually comes to sympathize with him, and ends up questioning whether he should actually collar the murderer ... because the victims are all spammers. - Charlie Stross |

| #2 Would be a nice original plot for a movie too. Think about 'Death Wish VI' for the title, but I don't think Charles Bronson is available to play the lead. |

| #1 Someone speculated years ago, that perhaps it might be more effecient to hunt down and kill that small handful idiots who have actually bought something in response to a spam message. Coincidently, my recent thoughts on automated comment spam at my Daily Brief site... there's some very strange stuff out there. |
