i think its funny too...

u'd think that there would be legal ways to spam that he could use.. like googling for e-mail addresses and goin crazy from your own computers? oh well.. maybe he didn't have the internet connection abilities to send 20mil emails in 15 days... lol

i hope they catch them all!!!!! i hate spam
