Heheh. yea I knew what you meant. Guess I was just feeling argumentative because these spammers piss me off so much.

I wonder if anyone knows how hard it really is to find out the origin of spam? I know it's impossible for average joes like me but for someone with the right technical knowlegde...

Actually you can usually find the legit sender of the spam (as they fake the "From" email address very easily. www.spamhaus.org usually has good guide to it I think.
