Default MXSMANIC fix and other Trolls

For the rest of US that have had enough of this person and a few other
trolls, lets all get together and send them 10 emails each. Lets fill
up their mail boxes with 100's of replies. Simple thing to do really.


It's also a felony in the United States, and suggesting it is a
conspiracy to commit a felony.

Think it will work??


If it does, you may discover from the friendly officer at your door
that the consequences of illegal activity on the Internet extend well
beyond cyberspace.

Yeah, I can see it now... "Hello, FBI? Yes, I'd like to report someone who
sent me 10 email messages...." click "Hello, hello?"

In an age where identity theft is no longer even considered a high priority
unless the total exceeds $100K I seriously doubt that you could get them to
even talk to you about something like this, let alone send someone out to
investigate it!

That isn't the way it is done, although you're correct in that one
usually proceeds by out-of-band communication methods, which get a lot
more attention than e-mails to abuse aliases.

Well, I've been there and done that, and I wasn't the one who was
surprised. As I've said, if you're doing something illegal, the mere
fact that you do it on the Internet won't necessarily protect you.
