Yep - I'm on a tear tonight.

Ralsky said he's frustrated by attacks on his character by anti-spammers. Linford said his organization has been persuading Internet networks around the world to block mail from any Chinese provider that sends Ralsky e-mail.

"When the Chinese providers contact us to ask why their outgoing mail is blocked, we tell them because of Ralsky, and they pull his plug," Linford said.

Ralsky, meanwhile, is looking at new technology. He has been talking to two computer programmers in Romania who have developed what could be called stealth spam.

The software, Ralsky said, can detect computers that are online and then be programmed to flash them a pop-up ad, much like the kind that display whenever a particular Web site is opened.

"This is even better," he said. "You don't have to be on a Web site at all. You can just have your computer on, connected to the Internet, reading e-mail or just idling and, bam, this program detects your presence and up pops the message on your screen, past firewalls, past anti-spam programs, past anything. It's ingenious.

Just like telemarketers.

Can I email them and tell them to take me off their list?

:)

Pretty soon we will have to pay our ISP's to close down all spam...just like the phone company.
