    This story in the Washington Post is quite astonishing. The WORLDWIDE volume of spam emails dropped by two thirds after a single host in California was closed down on Tuesday.

    That is great news. I have noticed my spam levels slowly dropping. Can they be held liable for anything?

    Every host (except mine) should close down. That'll stop the spam!
