He died after suffering repeated blows to the head.

Kushnir, 35, headed the English learning centers the Center for American English, the New York English Centre and the Centre for Spoken English, all known to have aggressive Internet advertising policies in which millions of e-mails were sent every day.

In the past angry Internet users have targeted the American English centre by publishing the Center’s telephone numbers anywhere on the Web to provoke telephone calls. The Center’s telephone was advertised as a contact number for cheap sex services, or bargain real estate sales.

Another attack involved hundreds of people making phone calls to the American English Center and sending it numerous e-mails back, but Vardan Kushnir remained sure of his right to spam, saying it was what e-mails were for.

Under Russian law, spamming is not considered illegal, although lawmakers are working on legal projects that could protect Russian Internet users like they do in Europe and the U.S.

That is horrible, but I cannot admit I never thought about that happening to the person who setup the sytem that keeps sending me crap all day long.

It reminds me of the old J-walking poem.


His right was clear,
and his will was strong.
but he's just as dead,
as if he'd been wrong.

This has nothing to do with the above but, it's getting close to Friday, so I am getting wackier by the hour. The above poem reminded me of this oldie:

By the sewer he lived.
By the sewer he died.
They said it was murder,
but I know it was sewer-side.

Perhaps Mr. Spammer owed some people some money, or was involved in activities more nefarious than just spamming.

I like spam- it makes me feel popular.

I also like to take the opprotunity to chat and catch up with telemarketers when they call.

I've often wished this same fate on all the little turds who create and then spread computer viruses.

Somehow I don't feel too sad for Mr. Kushnir.....
