For those of you who subscribe to the Nashville Tennessean and who also read the comics, please take a look at the comic strip, "U CAN" with Beakman & Jax, in the Sunday, Jan 5, 2003 issue. Probably in other papers also. The entire strip is devoted to internet SPAM, its history, fighting it, etc. One interesting technique suggested is to make a link on your web pages to... http://www.hostedscripts.com/scripts/antispam.html Since most spammers use a web crawler to slowly surf the internet and harvest each page for E-Mail addresses, this link will redirect the collection software and present it with 100 randomly generated bogus E-Mail addresses. The last line will link back to the top, reload, and another 100 bogus addresses will be available for harvesting. So, it will simple be hung up in an endless loop, gorging itself on fake addresses. If enough people put this on their webpages, it should soon eliminate this type of E-Mail collection. I put the link on my pages at two different places. One near the top as.... <A HREF=http://www.hostedscripts.com/scripts/antispam.html></A> which will not actually show on your page but the collection software will see it, take the bait, and leave your page. On a couple of pages, I also put it near the bottom as.... <A HREF=http://www.hostedscripts.com/scripts/antispam.html> Fight Spam! Click Here! </A><BR> This does the same thing, but presents the message "Fight Spam ! Click Here", hoping other people who are fed up with Spam will go to the page, read it and modify their pages accordingly. I'm sure that spammers will find a way around it eventually, but at least you feel like you are getting back at the *7#$$@** for now.
