I certainly have not noticed a decrease. In the 10 days I have been offline I had about over 1000 spam Emails sent to me. That is about 100 a day. I am glad they took out this guy though, it may make others, especially those thinking about starting a 'spam' business to look elsewhere for their 'kicks'.

What a really nasty piece of work! I'm glad they've got this guy under lock and key, who knows how many more people would have suffered from his scam if he hadn't been arrested?
I found it interesting in the article though, that microsoft won $7 million dollars law suit against him, whilst a small Oklahoma internet provider won $10 million damages against him. It just goes to show that the 'big boys' don't always have the biggest clout!
