Rancho Palos Verdes, CA | Collateral Damage. Many people may think its a good idea.
However there is too much collateral Damage.
The way the internet is setup will now allow for such a program without also destroying the backbones.
When you target a single network with a DDOS or a program like this one, you are not only overloading that network, but you are also overloading the networks that are connected to it (in between you and the target network).
If this program got too wide spread, it could possible bring up traffic 150% or even double (and more) the traffic generated by constantly using a connection.
If that happened then think about this.
Double the traffic on backbones, double the failure rate on backbones, double of everything that must be invested in a backbone.
In the internet when you attack a specific site, you do not only damage the site itself, you damage the path that you must take to get to the site. |

| SPAM only pays when you open your wallet The best way to stop SPAM, is to educate the public not to buy from them. If people stop buying stuff they see in SPAM, then SPAMMERS won't get paid, and then they will be forced to stop.
The problem is easier to solve then you think, if it weren't for all the stupid people in the world. |

| Consider spammers are moving to the use of viruses in order to turn unprotected computers into SPAM servers and there is nothing to stop a persistant spammer from moving to another provider in order to continue there activities.
Then think about the ability to turn the attempted DoS around and DoS other sites.
On the surface it looks like a "feel good" tactic, but since it won't solve the real issue and has the potential to backfire far more then the benefit that it would grant.
Hows about coming up with a real solution to the issue. |

| how about tracking down these spammeres home addresses and posting them on the net. lol the post office will need fork lifts to bring all the thretning letters |
