<img border=0 align=left src=http://www.ratatak.com/pics/ralsky.jpg>SPAM! Consistently number 1 on the list of things that makes the internet suck. Meet Alan Ralsky (left). If you get a spam email about weight loss, mortgage refinancing or casinos, the chances are that it originated from Mr Ralsky here. Using servers hosted in any country that will allow it, Ralsky regularly sends out a staggering 15 million emails per day. <p >Speaking from his recently acquired $740,000 home (located at: 6747 MINNOW POND DR, WEST BLOOMFIELD, MI 48322 - oops, it slipped out), Alan Ralsky boasted that the weight loss spam alone paid for a good percentage of the remodelling costs in his new home (<a href=http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?BFCat=&Pyt=Tmap&newFL=Use+Address+Below&addr=6747+MINNOW+POND+DR&csz=WEST+BLOOMFIELD%2C+MI+48322&Country=us&Get%A0Map=Get+Map target=_blank>here's a map</a> - oops again, sorry). More recently, ex-convict Ralsky was reported as being more than a little pissed off that people were sending spam to his business email address (<a href=mailto:al@rxpoint.com>al@rxpoint.com</a> - oops what am I thinking!) and making nuisance phone calls to the number: 888-531-4793 (my bad).<p >He was particularly upset about people posting his personal details on the internet which resulted in him receiving lots of correspondence that he didn't ask for - not to mention people leaving dog shit on his doorstep. The purpose of this article is to ask people to leave this poor guy alone! I mean, everyone is entitled to their privacy and it's just not right to harrass people in that manner ;-)

I believe he was more pissed off about this story, and follow up stories on it being posted on Slashdot [slashdot.org] (which recieves roughly 1 million+ hits a day) oh yeah, and all his details appeared in the comments fields there too.

In this [freep.com] article entitled "Internet spammer cant take what he dishes out" the following is mentioned.

Quote: That they are. Gleefully. Almost 300 anti-Ralsky posts were made on the Slashdot.org Web site, where the plan was hatched after spam haters posted his address, even an aerial view of his neighborhood.
So he clearly appreciates everyone's efforts. More info found on these stories.

Oh yeah, and I'm thinking of making a hack that adds link [mylink.co.uk] link domains automatically to hyperlinks, just like throughout this post, and others of mine. They're handy for watching out for those goatse.cx links [goatse.cx] and other evil things. Not to mention that they are kinda useful anyway.
