Frickin Frakkin Spammers

It's not bad enough they fill my mailbox and harass my phone. Now they're sending out their crap pretending to be me, by using one of my domain names as a "return address." Yeah, I know, it happens all the time. The support guys at my hosting site (let's hear it for sff.net!) say it's a spam blast from a distributed botnet of compromised machines around the world, using my hijacked domain name. It's not coming from my account or site.

But it's still infuriating. I just want to let the world know: If you have been bothered by spam or scumware claiming to be from anything at [writesf - pointy symbol - com], it didn't come from me. I'm sorry.

And there's not a thing I can do about it.

But you know, there really ought to be a special level in Hell for spammers.
