Last year settled a large suit with ClickBank over affiliate-based marketing via spam, and am interested in whether the pattern has continued. I read with interest your comments on clickbank spam.

I was curious about the company(s) behind them as well but wasn't brave enough to actually click on the link for fear of crashing my computer, creating an unstable worm-hole or reviving Andy Dick's career. Thanks. Great detective work.

Set it up so that say, once the same address shows up in more than 10 Twitter profiles, the account gets flagged, and no more e-mails get sent out until the account is investigated. I applaud the Twitter crew for their work on combating these annoyances. Some day, we WILL have a spam-free internet. I just hope I'm alive to see it.
