  I saw the whole thing, officer! First, that guy was over here, and then that guy went over there real quick, and then BAM!

  Then I went and got some more to drink.

  I had the opportunity to do something really... really ...bad....and I didn't. DAGnabbit! Dave, why did you put these ideas in my head?!

  I was AT Scully's house. I was AT her computer. She left me alone. She was signed in here as Scully. Oh the things I could have done!! Must be that pesky conscience of mine. I didn't even read the mod forum stuff....geez! I'm such a goodie-two-shoes. :(

  I'll have to be extra naughty in chat to make up for such lost opportunity....

  Man gets "spam rage" over penis ad

  SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Call it spam rage: A Silicon Valley computer programmer has been arrested for threatening to torture and kill employees of the company he blames for bombarding his computer with Web ads promising to enlarge his penis.

  In one of the first prosecutions of its kind in the state that made "road rage" famous, Charles Booher, 44, was arrested on Thursday and released on bail for making repeated threats to staff of a Canadian company between May and July.

  Booher threatened to send a "package full of Anthrax spores" to the company, to "disable" an employee with a bullet and torture him with a power drill and ice pick; and to hunt down and castrate the employees unless they removed him from their e-mail list, prosecutors said.

  He used return e-mail addresses including [email protected].

  In a telephone interview with Reuters on Friday, Booher acknowledged that he had behaved badly but said his computer had been rendered almost unusable for about two months by a barrage of pop-up advertising and e-mail.

  "Here's what happened: I go to their Web site and start complaining to them, would you please, please, please stop bothering me," he said. "It just sort of escalated ... and I sort of lost my cool at that point."

  The Sunnyvale, California man now faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for next month on charges of threatening to injure someone. He said he did not own any guns or have access to anthrax.

  Booher said the problem stemmed from a program he mistakenly downloaded from the Internet that brought a continuous stream of advertising to his computer.

  The object of the Californian's anger was Douglas Mackay, president of DM Contact Management, which works for Albion Medical, a firm advertising the "Only Reliable, Medically Approved Penis Enhancement."

  "This went for a long, long time. He seemed really dedicated to this," Mackay said from Victoria, British Columbia in Canada. "He seemed like a guy just crazy enough with nothing to lose that might actually do something."

  He said his firm does not send spam but blamed a rival firm which he said routes much of their unsolicited bulk e-mail through Russia and eastern Europe. Mackay said such firms gave a bad name to the penis enhancement business.

  In other cases, Internet vigilantes have bombarded spammers with both unsolicited e-mail and regular mail and phone calls, launched attacks on spammers' computers and posted spammers' personal information on the Internet, according to reports.

  Separately, lawmakers in Washington said the U.S. House of Representatives was poised to vote for on a measure to outlaw most Internet spam. Lawmakers hope to pass a national anti-spam bill before a much tougher California state law goes into effect on January 1.

  Okayy who here has gone off the deep end ??? Fess up. :P (Just Kidding!)

  Hey Onacruse..

  Thanks to you and your wife for giving the space cadet a place to land and rest his space boots for a break. He's been caught in that air lock for several months now. Hope the fresh air there was good.

  Maybe someday the space cadet and I will be able to board and fly on the same space ship without the threat of being shot down by enemy forces.

  sincerely

  Special K
