Okay just a few days ago I posted about my blog being spammed, well this is my pay back post to past and future spammers.
I'll begin by explaining about spam bots; they are much like web crawlers, the bots we rely on to get our blogs on the search engines, spambots however collect email addresses for the spammers to send you unsolicited email, the main reason you show your email address as an image on your page rather than regular text.
Mister Linky tells me that if the Mister Linky widget is getting spammed it is most likely by a real person not by a bot as bots can't handle java script very well, that real person and their website/company has an email address.
So this post will be updated when I get spammed, it will contain a list of email address simply typed into the post for all spambots to read. The email addresses will be those of companies who think that by spamming us they will get business, now they can think again, because when they spam this blog they in turn will get spammed via email.
You should also note that your IP address is being recorded.
The list so far ...

Some months ago, I was spammed several times a day. After using yahoo's spamfilter, I've blocked them one by one. It certainly helps. But your idea to send them spam in return is great. May be send them 1000 e-mails?
I'm not actually sending them anything though.
The spambots will do that for me once they have harvested the emails from here for the spammers we all hate.
All I'm doing is giving the email to the bots, then I can forget all about it.
What a great idea! I am pretty new to blogging...so i haven't had any issues with spam yet....but this is a wonderful idea!!! Good luck!
