Hey, don't get nasty!  I was just pointing out that this didn't just hit
the US Internet (which Abacus helps to fund with their taxes), but everyone
else's as well (which they don't).

Btw, Brad, I'm not sure what you mean about e-mail vs. paper junk mail.
People who send paper junk mail pay for it.  If they send it overseas, some
of that payment goes to the people who deliver it at the other end.
Now it may just be naivety on your part, but I think you should know that
international networks don't come for free, nor do they operate without
people supporting them.
