Have a look at <URL: http://www.config.com/apology/public/spam/> first.

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.

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.
