Last Thursday Gaven Stubberfield, number 8 on Spamhaus' Top 10 Spamers list, was arrested and charged with four felony counts of using fraudulent means to transmit unsolicited bulk e-mail, the first felony prosecution in the nation specifically using an antispam law.
My incoming spam dropped by more than 90% over the weekend. There was only one this morning instead of the usual 40 to 60. Was it due to the federal antispam bill? No, that hasn't been signed yet; and Spamhaus says it shouldn't be. Whatever the reason, it's good to see spam slowing.

Who decides if anti-spam gets a hyphen? It seems to be running about 50-50 now.
