Dale Begg-Smith competes for a second time in the Olympic Games.

He took home the Gold in 2006 as an Australian Mogul Skier though he hails from Canada (another subject for discontent).

Begg raised more notoriety for his business dealings than for the fact that he took home the Gold. A fact that clearly left him with bitter feelings toward the media and possibly his own fortune made before becoming an Olympiad.

Now that he is back for the 2010 Olympics new questions about his very decency are being raised. Is he a Spammer? Did he pay his way to the Olympics both times on Spyware? Has he been instrumental in propagating Malware on computers?

More basically, if he were Miss Universe would he have his title stripped because of engaging in illegal activities if in fact the alleged illegal activities are factual?

He drives a $300,000.00 car and can pay for anything he needs where his training is concerned, unlike most Olympic hopefuls who have to work tirelessly just to keep up with basic essentials until hopefully they take home the Gold and can make a living via endorsements.

Ultimately, if he is a Spammer, Spyware, Malware propagator, does his perceived odious behavior have any bearing on his mogul skiing and any Olympic medals he might take home?

Isn’t there some irony that he went to Australia, the 1800’s criminal colony for the Brits to perform his alleged illegal activities?

Maybe SPAM would offer him an endorsement:)

Hope everyone has a great weekend and gets time to enjoy their family and friends.

I am thankful for my family, friends, health and happiness.  Here is to more and many spam free days :)

Everyone have a fun and safe Halloween.

Hopefully everyone is outside having fun and not having to work and answer email.

With all the distractions of co-workers and kids wearing funny clothes, make sure you keep your eyes open on any emails you click on.

The best way to not get caught and hurt by spam and/or phishing: keep your eyes open and avoid anything that strikes you as funny.

Hope everyone enjoys their time off and if possible, ignore your email and all the spam and get outside!

While nothing is perfect, I personally feel and have to say that the USA is still the best country around. The fact that we can say it isn’t perfect and work for change is something we should never take for granted.

While some of our freedoms do result in annoyances (email spam and some strange perverted use of freedom of speech) they are still great to behold.

Be careful what you do and where you click over the holidays, but most important have some fun and celebrate the birth of this great country.

It looks like MySpace has finally won their lawsuit again Scott Richter.

On Friday June 13th (yes, on Friday the 13th), the American Arbitration Association awarded MySpace over $6 million in damages and attorney fees, as well as the entering of a permanent injunction against Scott Richter and Media Breakaway.

This is the second win for MySpace this year against spammers, and we are talking the big hitters too.

While I am not a huge MySpace user (I believe I do have an account there somewhere) I am very happy to hear that they are winning these battles.

We are launching a study on email spam filtering services and would like to get as many responses as possible.

Please take five minutes to fill out the survey here:
Email Spam Survey

We are offering a 60 day trial if you complete the survey (our trial is usually only 30 days).

Thanks for any help you can give on this :)

Just wanted to remind everyone that today is Earth Day so you should make an extra effort to do something nice for the planet today.

Tomorrow you can go back to your usual behaviors if you feel like it (though I recommend trying whatever you choose out for some time and see if it grows on you).
