Story: Lycos anti-spam weapon melts away

Isn't the internet a "great" place? American spammers motivated by nothing more than the purest greed and contempt for all internet users can destroy e-mail communications for millions without anyone lifting a finger against them, especially their own government. But the moment enraged internet users try to do something controlling about this scourge, they get shouted down by all the do-gooders. Apparently we're all supposed to paitiently wait for the US government to begin to significantly enforce the "You CAN spam" law. They've had a year to enforce it. They have done next to nothing. How much longer are we supposed to wait, while our e-mail boxes continue to be jammed full of American spam so there's no space left for real e-mails which we often mistake for spam anyway?
