Well, you are not alone. I remember reading several years ago that someone 
in New York discovered the identity of a notorious spammer and killed him.

Also, there is a very well known spammer in Texas who has made a lot of 
money off spamming. He is a youngish fellow, who refuses to give interviews 
to the media...with good reason. He drives some fancy foreign very 
expensive car.

My pet peeve at this point are all the cursed spamming telephone calls. We 
get several a day.

When I was still working, chasing viruses, etc., we discovered that, at that 
time, the majority of really serious viruses were coming from two sources: 1) 
the Bulgarian version of the KGB, and 2) Israel.

Look up Stuxnet virus sometime. Very interesting reading, I assure you.
