Actually, I think that they don't cut off that hand right away.  They
start with a finger.  Then a hand on subsequent offenses.  Turns out
there's a bunch of folks missing a finger, very few actually missing
a hand.

Interesting.

I think we should bring back castration/mastectomy as a means of

punishment

for those who spam.


Works for me!

In Islamic countries, I believe that the standard punishment for

stealing

is to have your hands cut off.  This is both a punishment _and_ a

way of

preventing repeat offenses.  With regard to either goal, I believe

it is

most effective.

My own feeling is that a similar sort of combination should be used

in

the case of spammers, i.e. they should be punished by being banned

entirely

from the net for a period of from 2 to 10 years, depending upon the

severity

of the offense.

Just an opinion after the 34th copy of this ARE YOU BEING

INVESTIGATED spam

has hit my box.


Yes.  In that guy's case, I would make an exception and cut off his

nuts

(if he has any).  I have gotten a bunch of his crap too.
