Default Why you should NOT Spam

This is something i found over at webmaster-talk. thought it was a good enough story to share

I just read this on slashdot:

Article link: http://www.rlslog.net/real-punishmen...mmer-murdered/
Slashdot link: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/11/2157244

Its terrible, but still I can't help but be a bit amused.

yes so am i, thats bad isnt it. at first i wasnt totally sure that this was actually true and the thought passed my mind that it could be another "urban myth" but with it being on slashdot, that kind of gives the story a bit more credibility i beleive1

When you spam just think of your site you are working with.
What would you do when all of a sudden someone spamming
in your site? Isn't that annoying? What goes around come
back around.
