I have to work for a living.

Maybe if you had been spamming you could've retired instead of working for almost nothing

True dat! Of course my mainstream work wasnt too shabby making 6 figures working 9-5 in a white collar job.

However I have had my brush with spam by providing hosting spammers for 6 months.The worst 6 months of my life. Your always left high and dry in the end.

They always dont pay that massive final bill AFTER theyve burned at least 3 of your upstream providers.

In the end... I sleep well at night not concerned about being arrested or jailed...I can travel anywhere I want...cross any boarder and Im not on Interpol's wanted list.

Things that can all be solved easily if you have the amount of money you'd have made from Spam

Many a program was launched with that income.

Im too honest and ethical for my own good.

What was that quote someone keeps around here? Wasn't it something like "ethics are a bad excuse to rationalize failure"?

Only the truly weak make the conscious decision to compromise their ethics for mere monetary gain.

But I guess by the token of those who live by the quote to which you refer Ken Lay, Bernie Ebbers, et al are successful and the companies who do not cook the books are failures.

Serge comes to mind. All he has is money but can't buy success to save his life.

There are degrees of ethics. You dont need to keep the same ethics as the worst, but you sure as hell can't be an angel to make it in any business.

So you actually made money (or at least attempted to) off spam too.

Probably not.

We got a small taste of the heat it brings.

I could sleep easy with a few mill in my mattress. If the heat came, I'd sic the furniture eating pugs after them or I'd hang out with my bud's in Panama
