Spam a murder motive?

Ok, this isn’t about knitting. It’s barely about blogging. But, how could anyone who has worked frantically to install spam filters on their email, blog comment boxes, and whole blog site fail to pass on this story?

From Mosnews.com

Vardan Kushnir, notorious for sending spam to each and every citizen of Russia who appeared to have an e-mail, was found dead in his Moscow apartment on Sunday, Interfax reported Monday. He died after suffering repeated blows to the head.

In another article Mosnews.com reports:

Indeed, the deceased must have been the most hated person among 17.6 million Internet users in Russia, whom he continuously spammed over the last few years, sending out tons of email ads for his language courses.

Further gems:

“The Spammer Had it Coming”, one headline reads. “Spam is Deadly”, “Ignoble Death Becomes Russia’s Top Spammer”, “An Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem”

What more is there to say?


Hat tip to Spamhuntress whose site often provides me terrific spam blocking tips.
