Authorities Shut Down Major Spam Ring - NYTimes.com:
“This will send some real shock waves through the spamming industry, but even if these guys were running a substantial botnet of compromised computers, there are always spammers looking to take their place,” said Graham Cluley, a senior technology consultant at Sophos, a spam-fighting security firm. “It wouldn’t be a surprise if people don’t notice any difference in their in-box tomorrow morning.”
My GMail spam folder now holds about 1/4 the spam I had become accustomed to. The only reason I even read this story is when I remarked on that fact, and was tipped off by mexijew and sspenguin on Twitter.

That's funny, I hadn't noticed a decline in spam because, as I was bitching about before, Google has decided to start dumping any forwarded messages to spam for me. :-(

So much for using Google to intelligently filter my email. Seems like more of a hassle than it's worth now.
