Oh to some extent even the first time it's because they're slackers. If instead of a brainless rush to sign up dial-up accts and check credentials later they demanded a credit card or other verifiable information (a phone number we can call you back at to activate) then they'd burn up about 99.9% of the opportunities for spammers to get throw-away, anonymous accounts. I say this from absolutely first-hand experience. On August 27, 2002 at 15:22 vixie () vix com (Paul Vixie) wrote:
