It's totally pathetic that people should be complaining about the spam in their inbox and then not allow others to do something about it. Here was a perfectly good solution to a pain in the ass problem and it get's shot down just because a bunch of loud mouthed Doom's day prophets predict all kinds of calamity on the net, lawlessness and revenge attacks from spammers.
They need to get real. The spammers already fired the first of several shots. They already DOS attack via backdoor malware so what's the problem in hitting back legitimatley through a screensaver?
