    I just thought this was interesting. Two MySpace spammers were just fined 230 million dollars!

    This is really cool to hear! I own www.blogengage.com and I get spam a lot! I added some mods to help fight the system but I still get manual spam!

    I feel the pain and I say good for the retards!

    Kill Spammers... die die!

    Finally they did something, I hate getting friend requests from web cam girls and random people trying to raise their friend count for no reason.
