I like this headline better:

"The Spam Bust That Wasn't"

This arrest is all well and good, but the spam keeps coming.

Robert Alan Soloway, the notorious Seattle spam marketer known as the "Spam
King," was arrested Wednesday after being indicted on charges that include
identity theft, money laundering and mail fraud.

But while spam-fighters are lauding law enforcement's crackdown on one of
the world's most prolific offenders, they also argue that the move will
have little effect on the growing flood of spam clogging in-boxes.
