Alan Ralsky, the “Spam King,” made the mistake of giving an interview <\/a>to the Detroit Free Press<\/i> when he moved into his new 8000-square-foot house in the area — which house’s basement has a T1 line and a slew of PCs from which he controls spam servers the world over (he had to move the technical side of things off-shore, because of legal challenges in some states).<\/p>\n

Some enterprising SlashDotters determined his new address, and used some Perl scripts to inundate his home <\/a>with ads, catalogs, and brochures, all via snail-mail.<\/p>\n

Ralsky, of course, doesn’t see the humor in all this.<\/p>\n

“They’ve signed me up for every advertising campaign and mailing list there is,” he told me. “These people are out of their minds. They’re harassing me.”<\/p>\n

Sometimes justice is sweet. <\/p>\n
